Hello Durban and Babu,

I have sent off an e-mail to Dr. Smith (peterhsmith@hotmail.com), with cc to Michael. I also mentioned the "2-week without reply e-mails"(but did not mentions Babu by name) and asked Dr. Smith to give us an update. Hopefully this would result in some positive action. I also indicated to him that to us shareholders Magpie is a world class asset in FNC holdings. It's a blockbuster and FNC should flaunt it.

Btw, if my e-mail address for Dr. Smith is not the right one, then please pass along a correct one.

I sent my e-mail during the long weekend, hence I would wait for a day or two for some kind of response (an acknowledgement would do initially), but 2-weeks without a reply to an e-mail is just too long.

May be, just may be...Michael does not read e-mails. and would prefer to talk on the phone? Any volunteer to dial IR?
