Wow. Flyby sounds like you hit a nerve. Suggest you just ignore LB's rants. I've been involved in Spider and Freewest dealings with Cliffs and have held KWG for some time now as well. She/he has been around the ROF boards for years and frankly it's been difficult to determine the purpose. Check out his/her profile and you'll see the favorite boards list is Cliffs and ROF companies(all are or had dealings with Cliffs) My rule of thumb is if someone asks questions and give their own answers is probably not someone I would put too much faith in. Seems they may have some other mandate, rightly or wrongly. I've made my evaluation of LB some time ago but will leave others to make their own.
We should know soon what Cliffs has in mind for the processing plant. Should put more clarity to the transport question as well. Good luck to all longs
