This *determines* the *change*. Speaking of this again, I ought to have
stressed that you will *only* hear about Company X yet again if things have
been *reversed*, i.e. the migration is conceded.
To exemplify, today in bizzaro-CNN.com
Headlines:
* Novell announces that CEO to stay in chair for at least 6 months
* Microsoft confident about its Windows operating system
* Husband beats wife in mid-western state
* Cure for AIDS not found yet
I hope this makes the point more self-evident.
Best wishes,
Roy
