I am a first time poster after holding this stock for 2 yrs. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all of the level-headed, articulate contributors who helped me to buy in the first place and kept me calm with the research provided when things beacame scary...aka...manipulated.

I'm very pleased with the pedigree of several of our last directorial and geological hirings, however, I am in complete agreement with bigfoot's opinion.

Unless we have current, positive news worthy of a televised interview...please decline. And whether you like it or not, the words that come out of the big chief's mouth and the level of articulation in which they're communicated, have a direct reflection on any particular corporation and how it's percieved. Her struggle to find words and answers for a low-brow FOX interviewer is extremely painful to watch.

Having said that, I have no doubt that Lori is an intelligent, savvy business person. It would benefit her greatly to work on her interview skills, which could be improved moderately with a small ammount of work. If not, let Murray or another director sit in for the interviews. I believe it would reflect better on the company. This is of course my own humble and personal opinion and we all know that the bottom line will be our sample results...all fingers and toes firmly crossed. :-)
