I agree with everything you said? Before the AROCS batch size givaway, I called CS several times and 'sucessfully' turned down an IA I didn't want because the one I
did want was gone - effectively it was a proffer. My point was that despite what the PWA says (that officially they are
not proffers), CS has treated them as proffers at times. I presume they are still treating IA's this way, but I have no personal knowlege either way since the ARCOS 'deal'.
