Sample Comments
Are we talking 2 weeks, a month or 3 months, 6 months+?
I am sure a few months is enough.
"a couple of months" ... why not immediately?
maybe a week isn't enough...
I'd give it a couple months.
Just 70 days though? I would have thought it would be much longer.
Optimistically, weeks-not-months.
Understandable, is the timeline now more like a month?
Why at least 1-2 months?
It's hard to say, but months sounds like a reasonable time.
