Some people may know more than you may think they know, just because you think they don't know does not mean they don't know what you think they don't .What? Ive read that three times, still do not follow what you are trying to say?
Skynard Rules!

I never knew for sure (and still don't!) if some kind of sale or agreement will ever take place, but I have known with 110% certainty that the two parties have been negotiating something like this for a very long time. PAR is not the easiest group to make a deal with. I guess a lot of people will have egg on their faces if something does happen and perhaps the moral of the story is that if someone is telling you that they have "first hand" knowledge of something that is going on, then they should perhaps be taken a bit more seriously...When the argument is that the person needs to provide proof, sometimes that cannot be arranged. But that does'nt make their info untrue. People just need to relax and not get so bent out of shape. Do people sometimes post rumours that turn out to be untrue? sure. Does any harm come of it?, no. This is after all a discussion forum.

This is after all a discussion forum.I heard about NS buying out Guilford/PanAm for five years now.Maybe it is true or not this time.I just do not like it when they do not sign there first and last names to a subject they put out about PanAM

I usually take all this NS talk with a grain of salt but it seems for once something is really happening. No word on the details but it seems we'll know by the end of the month.Any chance you could link to it or point us in the right direction, such as a certain Yahoo group?

I'm as sick and tired as anyone about nothing ever happenning, but again, that doesn't mean that there aren't serious discussions taking place and you'd think people would be happy about getting this info vs having the thread locked.... As for the whole PAR system being sold - very doubtful - I'm hearing it's Ayer/Chelmsford/Lawrence West and not sure whether it would be a sale, joint operations or what not. And again, I woulddn't be shocked if it all fell apart, but I'll say it again, they have been trying to make a deal for some time - no ifs and or buts about it!!When the argument is that the person needs to provide proof, sometimes that cannot be arranged.
