I too thank you for this pertinent post.
Knowing more of the Real Story respecting ARU can only help ALL NOT Share Holders understand what those backing some of our BoD have in mind. In the mean time they are trying to Write History to soot themselves. And they have moved in on NOT and are presently looking to do something of the same with OUR Much More Valuable Magnificent Mineral Discovery in the James Bay Lowlands of Ontario, Canada.
Thus, for ALL Noront Resources real Exploration Investors, We need to keep the Focus on Rooting Out ALL the possibilities on EXACTLY what is happening to OUR Company. And at every conceivable Level!
The nay sayers and subtle Agenda Promoters have to be delt with, but we can do a much better job of nullifying their Agenda with out getting into personal bantering and mini EGO Matches.
While doing this Job, we also have to remember that NOT every Poster has the same set of skills and depth of experience. Thus, we have to also be increasingly more careful to also not knock on those who are trying to learn and or bring some point or perspective to the Forum that is either lacking or which they have not fully developed in their own mind prior to attempting to present it to the Forum.
I know how difficult it can be to express some thoughts so that others get even the jest of what is being attempted to be expressed. The February - April, 2008 PP/Warrant Exercise Epasode was one Specific Instance I can clearly recall that caused plenty of Heightened Tention in Discussion. Some Personal MATURITY will go a long way in learning to keep the Discussion "Moving Forward". And the more practice in trying on "Personal Maturity" the better each Poster Should get in this respect.
