Thank you Joe!

Your post was a superb review of the truth about NOT's malaise and the BOD in particular; and how the professisonal financial community views the ineffective "puppet" governance of Wes Hanson, and the Hedge Funds and how they admired Richard Nemis and thought he would take our SP to double digits.

Your consultations with brokers etc. across the country indicate more than just displeasure with this management, and the reality that they proabably will wait for Cliffs to make a low ball bid, and then, sometime in the future, a major bid will come from a Major.

Your comments expressed the feeling of so many of us, and the despair that retail cannot appear to be able do anything about it!

My question to all on the board....Joe's post presented the truth about Noront...it was not off topic, but it did disagree with Management and the current BOD.

WHY WAS JOE'S POST REMOVED? Someone should reinstate it! Are we so afraid of the truth?!

Thank you.
