Ladies and Gentlemen: Holding 4 years and had to sell. Waiting patiently for a 1 1/2 cent move. Where is the celebration here? After all, like my good friend who has held for 4 years and forced to sell, I too have had the opportunity to test my patience for anextended period of time. But let us not blame VMS and Mr. Mark. After all, they have been very busy building shareholder value and collecting only meagre paycheques along the way. And forget about any news - once you are in please accept that you will be forgotten. Who cares about whose money went into exploration programs and who cares who really funds the paycheques. Aren't we all just asking a bit much? God forbid we should see some action. After delivering the money we should all sit and behave while the lords of the realm play their big boy games. Sarcasm? You bet! It is absolutely disgusting and personally, junior miners (previously the love of my life) will never, ever see another dollar! Murray Pezim, and others, where are you?

Nice job guys - very impressive Rick!
