Quetzal,

What do you expect Mr. Butler to say, "I have some great insider information to share with you, we hit the motherlode, but don't tell anyone because I could lose my job and get prosecuted". If Mr. Butler seemed irritated when asked how the drilling was going, it was probably because he was being asked to share info which may be considered illegal. If you guys want to own a company that breaks the rules, buy Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan. or Halliberton and hold your head high.
