Hey Pipe ! nice to see you are still ticking.

Let me just say that there is no imaginary licence, that is real, as is the gas in the Mako BCGA. Also real is the JV we have with MOL and Exxon. The chances of having economic production coming out of Mako is very real too, due to the fact that Exxon is the operator and we look forward to them carrying out all tests with their technology to prove it so.

Trying to figure out Falcon now, how things may develop at Mako, and what the future may hold for Falcon is like trying to determine the contents of a box without opening it. The most we can do is to use logic, knowledge and common sense reasoning to take a good best guess. Example, take Connie, a black dog. We wrap the Connie in colourful glossy paper and put it out on display. On the surface we would be right to say that what we have in front of us is paper !., but reasoning and discussion of alternative ideas should lead us to make the educated guess that we are looking a Connie, a nice dog that the children love.

There are some for whom a discussion does not work. It is too complicated. Too many variables. They cannot control the message or the way the discussion goes and therefore are weary and fearful of it. They prefer the much simpler approach. We are right, you are wrong, end of discussion. That was the approach tried by the old Soviet system in Eastern Europe, including Hungary. They throw tomatoes from behind the fence to any dissenting opinion. These dissenters become "inconvenient", and are either pushed out or they make their lives impossible. Pipe, dont fall for those phony supporters of Falcon, they have nothing good in their hearts.
