"But I still think it is a despiration move on CLF's part, and I don't see where they are indicating that they encourage the amalgamation"

The idea that they are encouraging the amalgamation is only my opinion, and even then it is only a maybe thought. Everyone should be aware, though, that these guys didn't just fall off the turnip truck. They have the best planners here that money can buy, and they are certainly not making any moves here out of desperation. We just have to hope that Smeenk and Novak have the balls to play this right so they get the last drop out of them they can.

Best regards
