Good morning. I guess its time I started using the spell checker.....:) You are the 2nd of the day to bring this flaw in my character to the fore in order that I could deal with it....:)

Sorry to hear you have a flu, but I must say it hasn't prevented you from contributing as much as you do.

I also should refrain from reading the forum late to catch up. As you all probably know and have experienced on your own, when you begin responding to posts as you read, you begin to read appropriate responses from others making your post somewhat redundant and late.

Sometime I think it better to read from the top of the page down. Read the answers then read on down to the questions......:)

This is a short week but I would not be surprised to hear some sort of news. Things appear to be moving forward in a big way.

With the Probe jv it could be construed that NOT is beginning to unite the ROF. Now when I look at the map I begin to see a different picture. In that picture, FWR is beginning to look very small. A small block loaded with $$$ but it is being surrounded by Noront and Noront jvs.

What I'm seeing is FWR being surrounded and then I think back to that retailer luncheon that wasn't? ... and I think of Joe H. talking, and he is saying perhaps subliminally that everything must go through NOT. That without NOT, Nothing gets out. This keeps up, I just might start believing him.

TAs I have said that FWR block is beginning to look dwarfish although they have one load of mineral. What I am wondering about is which way NN will go? Is he aligned with NOT or FWR?Which one Gets SPQ et al? After all is not SPQ sharing NOT's office?

Does the fact that SPQ et al are jv'd already with FWR prevent them from making a deal with NOT? I'm a little unsure of this I must admit and would appreciate some feedback. tia

Or is my thinking far behind theirs or others and these issues are already ironed out??
