bigbuck, 

What exactly is Elmer suggesting is absurd?  If something is absurd it is easily dismantled and disproven with reasoning or counter-facts.  Elmer chose not to go there so his one word dismissal of the pointed question only makes him sound evasive.

Next time you talk to Elmer perhaps ask him if his statement "Copper Fox Metals has a sustainable business model" isn't the definition of absurd.   Ask him if he recognizes this number from his own financials: - $ (28,495,453)

Its his so-called ""sustainable"" business's Accumulated Deficits i.e. accumulated LOSSES under his leadership.
