You can't seem to decide what you think! It's been back and forth with your opinions as I have observed these last few weeks!
So much pontification going on here, do folks not have anything better to do??
The reason it will run through until the 12th is because this date was preset as an announcement date within Monarch even before it was public news!
There is lots going on behind the scenes that no one here has a clue about but keep pontificating and calling it 'bizarre' if that's your penchant!
