I'm all for a merger ..........trouble is though our stock price is so dang depressed (thanks to the wonders of Babcock and friends) that we just aren't well positioned to be swapping shares with another company right now. .........we'd be hosed at the moment. Perhaps after some excellent revised reserve numbers come out and/or with some signs of some excellent earnings in the works we'll be in a far better position to "play ball'.

I anticipate having to hold onto my shares for many years to come before I can even begin to consider selling off even a fraction of my allotment ...........just too much reversal of "damage" to be done. But at least we are finally starting to put our sails where it is more favorable to get this ship sailing!!
