Cal,

I don't see my fantasy scenario coming true either (especially PQ giving back any of the stock he is so laughably certain he has "earned"). But I do hope that any significant financing comes with at least some requirements such as getting rid of the rampant nepotism and reining in some of the salaries, especially for the double, triple, and quadruple dippers (I forgot about also collecting fees for being on the BOD of both companies). There have simply been too many screwups by family members such as running the mill for two years at low yield, screwing up the renewals of the claims, failing to drill, failing (as far as I know) to file for all the leach system permits, etc. PQ is stubborn. I just hope he is not one of those losers who has to hit rock bottom before realizing that there have to be changes.
