No News Is Good News...?

Well, Is No News Really Good News?  In my business, no news means that no action is being taken... We've been in underwriting for a week now and we just got a request for clarification on a minor item.  I'm hoping this means they are at the end of their process and this is the final item before their decision.  Hopefully they didn't just start on the file and this is the first of many clarifications... Ugh.
