With all due respect, I totally disagree with your position re Hanson's handling of the question from the Northern Miner attendee. Wes handled the question, after a suitable pause, admirably in my opinion. The luncheon was not, and I repeat, not the place to debate another analyst's (John Kaiser) opinions, especially since that particular individual has not been particularly supportive of NOT is his last few newsletters. Several NOT members have suggested that Kaiser has a hidden agenda (i.e. pumps other players in the ROF). I tend to agree with them. I would suggest that you peruse older postings on this forum for more information re this issue.

Respectfully submitted
