ok but does this mean we have abandoned the notion that this was all a ploy or a gamble to put us in play now?

how about if this is step 1 to put us in play and in fact another offer is either on the table (not made public yet) or about to be presented to ARU?

here we may be bashing them all, and quite possibly this is the start of a bidding war.

or have we abandoned hope and now been relegated to the fact that this is the only offer we are getting? its been a week now, is this the end of the line?

it cannot end this way, there has to be more to the story. there has to be a piece of the puzzle missing, there must be something we havent been told yet, this cannot be it. it makes no sense.

Maybe we oughtn't be in such a hurry to sell this thing? I mean, that's just about all anyone talks about around here, ie. how much is this worth? You're sending a message every time you do that, you know.

Me? I want to build a mine. I've never actually built one before, and I think it might be fun! Besides, I want to find out for myself just how big this thing is, not read about it somewhere five years after we've sold.

Biggest mistake I ever made was selling Apple too soon. Don't want to repeat that here.
