Don't hold your breath. I seriously doubt it will be from the source you're "anticipating" if it does occur.

LOL. I'll be waiting with baited breath. 
[/QUOTE]I can get you referred to "smileys anonymous if it's all getting too much for you!
And your anticipation of my anticipation reveals your deep seated paranoia.
BTW - I don't usually correct people's spelling here but I abhor the loss of the use of the verb "to bate", plus I'll take this opportunity to enlighten you.
Bated and baited sound the same and we no longer use bated (let alone the verb to bate), outside this one set phrase, which has become an idiom. Confusion is almost inevitable. Bated here is a contraction of abated through loss of the first vowel (a process called aphesis); it has the meaning “reduced, lessened, lowered in force”.
(Bugger - it's catching.)
