thanks for the vote of confidence, Captiankrunch. unfortunately fear had little to do with the reason the unthinkable question was asked. you see fear is an emotion that can easily be conquored and defeated as long as someone puts their mind to it and knows how to go about doing it.

i just have bigger balls than most. what i wanted to point out to this bunch of cheer leaders on steroids was that the prize at the end of the tunnel isn't always what you think.

although this tesoro is worth a pretty big chunck of coin, it is lori and her management team who deserve the cudo's not this one chunk of property. Why? because even if this thing doesn't turn out as we all hope and dream it will, it is lori and her team who will take us through the next one.

it is lori and her team who are the gift that keeps on giving.

you see all of these questions and complaints popping up and it really bugs me sometimes. it is our job as shareholders to support lori and her management team not to grumble and complain. all good things come to those who wait. she deserves a little more time. rome wasn't built in a day, and it takes a really long time to produce a diamond. patience and support are the key.

has anyone even heard of the words faith, trust, and respect? change your focus team, and channel it towards the ones who deserve it. and if the share price drops, it is our job as shareholders to buy more.

take us to the finish line with this tesoro, lori. we know you can do it. we have faith in you.and you have a right to be proud of what you have achieved.
