This conversation thread is bordering on Monty Python-esque. All that seems to being argued is whether a decision has been made yet.
Quite simply, and as stated previously, no decision has been made by MMC. If you anyone wishes to be pedantic, the only word missing from the previous sentence is 'yet'; however, that is a matter of semantics. Also, 'yet' does not imply the outcome of the decision.
Were MMC to rush blindly into a possible new partnership, they would be lambasted. If they take their time to review the feasibility (read into that all the commercial implications), they seem to receive the same treatment by certain groups.
I've written what I've heard from the horses mouth; should anyone choose not to believe it, that is their decision. No one is saying it won't happen but equally, to say it will definitely happen, at this point in time, is also incorrect.
