goodheart,

I was reading "resy" as "rest" (t and y are next to each other at least on my key board. BTW in your Ha! correction you said s (intead of y) should have been t. But that's fine.

You were probably the most active person in the AGM as far as asking questions are concerned...What about the rest of the attendees, anyone else asking questions?

Bruce (was he the one holding the fort on the podium?) must have noticed you by now. Bruce is a good guy and experienced fellow, so it would be expect that he would know when to stop with the info in a public forum, or Frank would just pass along enough info to his communications director so Bruce has a chance to say "I'm not aware...", just like West Wing's C.J./Allison Janney, Marti Sheen's (the Prez) communications director, at a White House press conference.

A bit surprised at his comment about of the hand-held thingy though, since it would be expected that moe or some senior goe would carry that little thingy to the field (such as the Thermo Scientific Niton XRF analyzer to have a qualitative assessment of the cores when they are just pulled out, since "everyone" seems to have one these days (not that expensive for a quick scan in order to make some snappy on-site decision, rather than wait for the labs to come back with more accurate numbers).

Agreed that watching the body language is very important, hence one has to be on location to "feel" the responses to the questions.

Good reporting, thanks.
