Hope, it's my opinion, as well as that of people I respect, that they never really negotiated with you because you went in there with the public position that the presence of the Supercenter itself was non-negotiable - it had to go (some, but not all, said a normal-sized Wal-Mart was tolerable, but everybody was saying a Supercenter was a non-starter).

Were I in their shoes, knowing that I had the legal right to put the Supercenter in there, and knowing that I needed it to be in there to make a profit, I would have done nothing but window dressing at that point as well, and I even said so at the time.
