You are talking about reality and patience. Most of us have bought VMS for Reed Lake discovery.

Reality: two years after the discovery hole the SP has made no progress.

Patience: has brought us nowhere since discovery. Now you want to wait for management to spend all money they have on other projects. Chances on discoveries are slim, especially twice.

Imo management did an extremely bad job. I think your positive attitude is stranger than the sceptisism of others.
