Well, i figured i`d wait and see just how many others understood just exactly how close you and Scarff are to the real truth.

I`ll have to be careful what i say here,but what you and Scarff are stating correctly can only be described as the understatement of the year.

I know a VERY astute businessman/friend, who has spoken personally with people on Bay Street about this business we`re in.My friend has been at this for fifty years

This very astute businessman has also spoken to people on Bay Street there about NOT`s " "prez,CEO,chairman" Richard E Nemis,as my friend realizes the potential to be had in the ROF.Some day.He`s been at this a LONG time.

I`m not going to repeat what my friend told me about the general consensus on Bay Street concerning our "prez",but you guys would be scared if you knew.But your own words will suffice.

To Scarff,i don`t know if you`ve ever met the "management" team you so succinctly describe,but if you haven`t,you must have a crystal ball.

This is no David Palmer who pulled Probe(PRB) back up to relative respectability,considering where PRB is and the state of ALL juniors.

If NOT makes it,it WON`T be managements fault.It`ll be because a rising tide raising all boats,and thankfully,if and when this mess ever gets straighten out,NOT will be dragged right along with the others.

We can only hope they don`t screw anything up worse before the whole mess in the ROF gets better.

But you are correct.It WON`T be managements fault if NOT survives and succeeds.

It`ll be despite them.
