Boy, talk about naivete!  When one is considering selling off a portion of
one's business, *the* *first* *step* is often making a separate division
out of it.  That way you can do separate accounting, move them into a
different building, etc., etc.  I would view this fact as confirming, not
denying, the rumor.
