Longball;

I suspect that your comment-- "certain people here are too optimistic" is directly aimed at me and possibly a few other positive posters, cuz we are definitly the "positive force" on this hub, and I personally respect your concern for our well being in regards to our investment.

I have said many times on this hub, that "you pays your money and you takes your chances" and I honestly believe that if this investment bothered me as much as it bothers some,( and I will let you decide whether you are in that group or not, ) I would bail-- because-- plus or minus-- it aint worth having a cardiac arrest for.

I also have the benefit of having working experience in this field cuz I did it for over 5 years. That being said, just because I have the experience of actually working on the mine sites, does not mean that I have the experience that others such as Sculpin, Hog, Kemo, Bow, Jake, and quite a few other posters on this board have.

That last statement, gives exceptional credence to the old statement that " two heads are better than one" And, if two are good ---100 or more are better" as long as what we all contribute is of and in a constructive manner. I do have some knowledge in mining as do many others on this board, and the beauty of this site is that we get to "share our ideas" What experience others contribute --I lack, and vice versa.

You, me, or anybody else have the right to share your opinion on this hub, and I for one do not try to tell anyone that this is the one and only chance to win in an investment strategy,--- I just try to let them know that "In My Opinion" this is what I deduct from the information that I have at hand. And--what I deduct is favourable evidence.

I have no idea why the rest of the world does not see what I and a lot of other positive people see in this investment, all I know is this-- and I say this with all my heart-- that the due dilligence has proven to Me, that the evidence is there for me to believe-- that I will not miss out on this one cuz --it looks, walks, squawks, smells,and (I hate Duck by the way---too greasy ) tastes like duck---chances are its a duck.

I also hope that you --- and everybody else that has taken the intestinal fortitude to become a venture investor in this stock, stay the course-- cuz as I said before -- if you stay the course to the end, IMO, you will not be dissapointed, and who knows-- you may not have to work another day in your life when this baby sails into payload port.

One last point. I believe that our hub leaders take so many hits on the chin without due cause. Pretty thankless job they do for "FREE" and I for one would not thank you for the opportunity. I believe that they deserve a great big---THANK YOU. Great job guys!!
