And therein lies the crux of the matter, transparency. What you are saying versus what Mr. Dan Leckrone and company have been saying, for years, are certainly in a state of disconnect. One could use reasonable judgement when questioning the validity of Alliacenses continuous verbage over the years stating licensing fees were increasing. They even went as far as stating some licenses had become to expensive for one time fees. Now on the surface that seems like a harmless statement. The problem is, no one can prove that statement as factual or not. The reason that is important, IMO, is the simple fact that this equation involves a publicly traded company, that is clearly impacted by statements made on the behalf of the MMP. While I agree with some of your logic, I also recognize that it's not that simple when dealing in the realm of public companies. The likely hood that investors or the general public will ever have access to TPL's database or their strategic business plan, is very unlikely. It all comes back to faith and trust in your management and officers. Unfortunately our picture is clouded by a host of characters who may, or may not, have our best interest at heart. As you've said, proving that would difficult to say the least.
