"Some people seems to find a certain pleasure to bash Management as they bash their boss or as they used to bash their teacher or any authority! Here we sadly realize that those who put in an AGAINST vote (or not mailing back the FOR proxy) were, finally, putting in a vote for Cliffs. Their choice. Not mine. If I'm not with management, I sell. Period. Bye. If I believe in management, I take the time to read their stuff, cross the FOR square and mail it right away the next morning. Or cross the bridge to the meeting, shake their hands and show support.

Maybe it's time, goldhunter, to test the guts of the KWG supporters you have on your list and ask for signed proxies for the next meeting! This may not bar Cliffs from ask for ballot vote. But it may shake the room a little, and give some strenght to our management!"

The above quote is not exactly the way to 'make friends and influence people'.

I have, perhaps, been unduly harsh on management. I have followed this play for sometime. Although my amount of shares are minor compared to some, they could be the shares that 'breaks the camel's back'. Your comments make me want to dig in my heels and say to ---- with Retail. However, you are only one person, although there are a few on this board with the same attitude. Too bad.

I'll be at the meeting in Toronto, when it takes place, with my proxy and that of one or two others. I'll make up my mind then.

Gleegee.
