I completely agree BF. Based on their comments I am expecting an application from Blis to pop up on the GRAS site in June. But until I see it I won't believe it as their time frame keeps slipping! If it happens that will be a significant step and yes it takes many months for them to get to the 'FDA has no questions' state. Many applications are withdrawn. Based on what appears to be robust preparation I'm not expecting Blis to withdraw theirs...but only time will tell.
This investment certainly is for the patient and for those with b@lls the size of footballs (or perhaps brains the size of chestnuts). Or both? ;)
