that would match the time frame, but really I don't see a way to confirm or deny it. I think we're just going to have to settle with the idea that there were shortages, for some reason, and now there aren't. That being said this site is nothing if not for speculation so please continue ^^

What do you mean by some reason? it says in the article they would be losing a factory  in late 2007/early 2008. Unless you mean the article could be wrong which is possible I guess since like you said we cant comfirm it, but this article if you didnt notice was done in March 2007.
