One comment. A new mining area is pretty rough and tough. If we think this board fails occasionally with regards to humanity, it is a Walter Milktoast in comparison. I wonder about Noront's sudden seemingly need not to care to much about simple commitments to the FN's as posted here recently. I wonder if it is true that Christmas kindness is gone, as well as all of the other programs for kids. Hopping on and off of a band wagon seems to be the rule of the game. But, I am sure Noront will finesse grandly, and in saying that, I hope the FN will too.
