Hello Mr. Hanson

Again our warm welcome to you.

Assuming that we now have a CEO that will be working a full 5 day week, we are expecting great things in the drilling area and stock price, and you have our full support.

May I bring up something for your serious consideration, please.

As you know by now, NOT shareholders have been alienated for a long time ,and our questions went for the most part unanswered. What was essential to us all throughout this devastating, "no news" period were the incredible communications services offered to us through AGORACOM. To this very day, AGORACOM allows this Message Board to continue free of charge, albeit without full service. AGORACOM is an incredible site. In all due respect, I ask you to reconsider NOT's renewed active participation in this site. It provides incredible information and communication to you and the BOD and to us.

AGORACOM has meant so much to us. It was the crucial factor in our proxy fight against the takeover artists.

Please recognize the contribution it could continue to make for NOT success.

Thanks.

Jacki
