"Just re-read this and was reminded how Cliffs viewed us then."

Nice post Klite. I had forgotten this. One also has to be reminded of the context of this which is much like a political debate before election....I believe it's called....mud slinging. To be more accurate, it's not how Clf viewed us, it's how they wanted others to view us. They suffered from the syndrome that many bigger companies have whereby they think they can roll in and finesse people with their money and influence.....come to think of it that works in a lot of cases.....but then this is Canada Eh? The FNs don't finesse that easily and we're talking about an area a lot of people and interests have their eyes on. We wait to see how it all turns out...but it's looking pretty interesting so far.
