It may very well be that Dave and his crew have part of the big picture already and do not want to give the manipulators (etc) whatever you want to call them a clue as to what is going on. I know if i was in Dave's shoes I would not give any signs until absolutely ready to release them.

He is a good geologist and has a good crew, now please let him get on with it and stop all this second guessing as to what needs to be done. Get in the field you complainers if you think you can do better and please leave Karen alone that item is getting very tedious so knock it off.

PRB will come through like a shining light with all that gold glittering soon to be found.

I do not post very much here on Agoracom as I get sick of hearing narrow minded posters saying things they know nothing about. I was brought up through the last war as my father fought for a better life and freedoms, including speech and expression but let's make it relevant.
