Without you replying to a post, it is hard to follow what or who you are reffering to!! Please do a reply post so we can follow your train of thoughts better in the future. For the record, if this was aimed at me, I have nothing but admiration for Richard.
Cheers,

Instead of discussing 'academic' or 'hands on approach', RN was the one with the WF blast and the super fast hit at E1. Or are you not informed ?
You say you are disappointed about Dick, well let's stay pragmatic here as you have wished for, nobody cares about your emotions, that you are disappointed does not imply we will move to hands on nickel expertise because you feel that's the way to paradise.
We all know the complexity of early discoveries, we went from gold to nickel, from copper to PGMs to Chrome in a blast and you are telling that we need to act differently on board level ? Let's have our board work in some peace as they have clearly disserved so, the nickel rumour has been reinforced, so wait a minute if you will.
Our Nickel, Chrome, Gold, PGM, Rhodium puppie will be riding the wave of success for some time until the big buy-out, til then pls mind your words and try to stay away from wrong judgements.
We do not need intention invention on this board, leave Dick out of inproper discussion. He has performed well in complex circumstances. Try to be positive and give them some credit from our side.
