Hey Lance.....lots of us know how hard it is to tone down and control the rhetoric....lol. Welcome back.

as for your statement......"Enough already, let’s get this deal done. For those who have been soooooo adamantly opposed to anything NOT you are doing yourself a great injustices, but even worse you are leading the other sheep to their slaughter too. STOP THE MADNESS!!!!! Joint the NOT family we’ll forgive you…NOT"

Not hard to read between the lines there my friend. But trying to convince me to tender my shares to NOT ...well....NOT yet I say.

At this point there is ZERO compelling reason to tender, either way. Yes, CLF will give us this and NOT will give us that.....but....I would suggest that when you sweep away the emotionalism aimed at FWR and Mac & BOD you will have a clearer picture of what is really going on in the ROF.

And what is really going on? .........something big....I think. Other than that, I don't know...and neither do you and neither do the rest of our 'families'. We don't even know who may be pulling the strings of the known participants.

All I know is that I plan on making some money here. Last run-ups I hung on and waited for the theoretical bigger payday. So....here we are....probably the payday. And if one plays it right, it could be several paydays as the unknown unfolds over time. Small fish to medium fish to big fish......and maybe even a school of fish(SPQ, KWG, PRB, FNC, etc, etc)

I'm just trying to keep my eye on the ball. I have been vocal about my distrust of the NOT BOD and their history, and as vocal in support of Mac & FWR BOD. Well time moves on and I'm the first to admit that Mac & BOD are now in the same boat as I viewed NOT BOD. Let's call it the 'S.S.Sucker', which probably is the famous ghost ship of the north...the 'SO SORRY SUCKER' If I'm wrong about any maligned parties, I'll apologise later.

So where does this leave me as I keep one eye on my NOT & FWR shares, and the other on the swirl of energy all around. Well....all I can say at the moment is NO. No to NOT, No to CLF. I am leaning strongly to selling my shares in either or both, when the shifting ground deems I should, or I'v reached my targets. Or a company makes me a compelling offer. I can always buy in again if they start to shoot up. I could miss the gap-up, but, looking back at my own trading history in the ROF......I could have made a lot more money if I had played it that way all along. Maybe even buying warrants if that appears to work for me.

At this point there is no compelling offer.

So Lance, what started out as a short reply to you has ended up being a longer missive just to say why we can't be 'family' just yet.

...does this mean we can still be friends?...........cheers.....sambone
