Facts and figures or "the board" (who are the board?) will have posts removed. So anyone's opinion is now considered unworthy and will be removed. Don't you think "the board" is taking this censorship thing too far? Funny how negative opinion messages are threatened with removal yet "all is great" messages are allowed to remain. If all non-fact and figure messages should be removed then maybe "the board" should remove your latest opinionated post where you stated this opinion:

"Curious to know, how does this affect the current NCIB? Do they continue to buy ISM shares?

Lots of interesting opinions on today's news.

In the pre-Micon report days wasn't there a lot of board scuttlebutt on the Metal mines/Langmuir scenario? I recall people as talking about Metal mines and Langmuir possibilities as positives and looking like the "next stage" if there was to be a divestiture of sell off to a large major. Seemed it was talked about as a huge positive back then. Today it is coming across as a huge negative if one was reading this board.

So here we have news basically setting up such an entity. Isn't this a logical next step for a company who has always had the intention of selling off Langmuir? ISM has many properties and as such I would think getting Langmuir back to a publically traded and separate company (Metal Mines) is welcome news. Heck who is to say it does not pare off other "pure play" properties as they go forward?

The next questions are ones wrt Langmuir's future as dictated by those Micon recommendations in the report and the fact that we read that ISM is committed to following through on the same in 2010. Are they still committed? Who will head Metal Mines given the management's newly declared statement that they wish to focus on Gold and Rare earth Element properties? Maybe this is also setting up for that management changeout that so many have been asking for wrt Languir and it's ablitly to get to the next stage?"

I don't see any facts or figures in that post. I also thought repetition was outlawed. If so why is it your repetitive post of the news release is allowed to stand? It would be a far better board if opinions and discussion, positive or negative, were left alone. After all, investors need to see both sides of the story to make wise investment decisions. Of course this is all in my opinion so I expect it will be deleted by "the board"......no facts or figures you know...
