EL and I just had a minute on the phone...He jogged my memory as to who jdtii is....I now remember him from a shareholders meeting two or three years ago. He is a no nonesense type of a guy...Was always asking questions like

``Why in hell haven`t we sold some of these things``?? (Paraphrase) We talked in the parking lot and I said he should have patience and not ``complain`` so often....When we left he seemed molified...

I hope EL will jump in with a ``blurb`` as to his conversation with John. His was first hand....

The reason for the above is to state that I know John to be a hard headed type of a guy and he, according to EL, was pissed and called RP to ``vent``. I guess he got hardnosed, (EL chime in) and more or less forced RP to come out with some info, which seems to be valid. If so EDig is like a duck in the water, peacefully serene on the surface but paddline like hell underneath...

Knowing how John is I believe his report and after all this time now have a ``tiny smidgen`` of news to hand my hat on.
