Hi Doc,

The "chatter" I heard was the result of a conversation being extrapolated and several assumptions being made. I also read more into it than the evidence actually bears out! My mistake!

I'm not saying it isn't possible.....just a lot more remote of a possibility than I had thought. That being said we are really beat down considering we are a take over target. The press we've been getting and the strange behavior of our stock and that of WTG must be peeking more than a bit of interest. House 13 instinet is still a buyer albeit in reduced volume's. Lundin Mining ended up with a hostile offer after agreeing to merge with Inmet. That came in the last week of the arrangement. We may all get the shock of a lifetime....BUT....don't expect a white knight to be philanthropic because they want to make us rich! Anyone will be trying to get the best deal possible.....That's business!
