Glass, as someone else mentioned, why is it that you so often try to put a negative slant on your questions and statements? Do you have an agenda?
SNO has probably not made any statement about their brown diamonds because they still don't know if what they found was truly brown diamonds or stained ones. After this was announced in 2006, aren't you one of the persons who tried to make an argument that brown diamonds are worthless? I suspect that the Argyle mine in Australia is doing very well selling coloured diamonds, including brown ones.
I'm sure that if they knew, one way or the other, they would inform the shareholders. It doesn't appear to me that they are trying to withhold any information. In fact, as you well know, they are obligated to make certain disclosures.
