  It would have been better if they'd let him know when they'd decided not to, though. It seems like they kept him hanging for a couple of weeks after saying "Sure, we'll send you a login so you can access our full database".

    I've been in that situation before though, with some outside vendor/supplier a manager has hooked me up with. discussions go back and forth, I have an idea, and "Hey, let me see If I can get a login for that for you". And then you actually try to get it done and you get stalled. But you may not have a "No" yet from above so you stall. It's a reasonable thing, but it seems like this guy was pegging all his hopes and dreams on this, and got over-excited.

  Well I think the blog title is meant to illustrate the full range of emotion felt by him. I think he knows that any real talk of acquisition would have been a fair ways out, even if everything went as planned. But it's a very reasonable blog title. One that got me to read, and I didn't feel baited.
