"And....showing some emotion of my own....let's just say I haven't forgot about Windfall and the news blackout following the takeover of NOT. Some would prefer we forget....don't let this cloud your judgement on current events they say....well, I think it is all quite relevant. Sure Wes arrived after all that, but who's really pulling the strings here?"

Points noted and appreciated. However, as much as I also would like some of these answers, they remain curiosities and are impediments to keeping your eye on the ball. As long as the sp is going north I don't really need the rest and it serves to muddy the water. If laws are being broken and people murdered then I want something done about it but at present speculating on things we don't know is simply mist and tends to get used by those, who ever they may be, who have intentions.

"Continuing on this line of thinking.....why this policy on no visuals. I have made the point time and time again, this policy benefits some (let's call them insiders) at the disadvantage of others (retail in particular). All this drilling at AT-12....fow what? I haven't a clue....besides speculating. These drills with 1500 meter depth capacity....do we know yet if the deposit runs down to 1500 meters and open at depth yet....again, I haven't a clue....but, I bet some know....for sure. Why can't we all know at the same time....this whole transparancy promise; I'm not buying it."

I hear ya, and again we'll likely find out some of these things sooner than later but tactical info. will likely remain in the dark. Again, if the sp goes north then it would appear that their tactics work. If it goes high enough you might even agree some day. I'm suspicious of anyone handling money or assets and certainly expect them to look after themselves as the system has been built to take care of them. Be that as it may, you decide to play or not. It's never been any different. Way too many emotions on these boards, no surprise. I'm surprised more people aren't burned out.
