Great post, Thanks Justduke, i wish i had been there to see him, I can appreciate the feelings his speech would have instilled in you, for the most part I agree with all of your statements except for the three listed below:

Windfall ramp missing target

The truth of the matter with Windfall is a lot of money was spent on a ramp that undershot the target

would think had they been on target the Windfall story going forward for the next year would be different, they did not hit, end of story, save cash now and come back to it later.

IMO, There is absolutely no way on this green earth they missed the target, missing it's a logistical impossibility, with the known depths etc of our 52 oz/ton hole, autocad and laser targeting for distance, degrees and direction I can not fathom this as even a remote possibility. Reality is with todays precision systems they could easily have completely surrounded the "zone" and pulled it out in one piece core hole intact. I say no way, they hit it , they know it, problem is, we don't. That's the kicker here, we don't. IMO there's far too much at stake in behind the scenes action to let the cat out of the bag, Nemis , Harvey , Novak and Mungall are all "Stand up Guys", guys not prone to speak bullcrap. I believe soon we will know the rest of the story, Patience my friend.

Cheers
