My, my, we seem to blown a gasket. Anyway just one item in your pretend rant caught my eye and that was about the news flow.
It seems to me that if management has really turned over a new leaf, they should reverse their policy regarding "visuals". Not releasing visuals seems perverse to me because you don't have to be a geologist to look at a core and make a reasonable estimate of the amount of sulfide in it and pretty easy to figure out if there is nickel in the core by dabbing some solution on it and then there are those hand-held analyzers that come up with pretty good information.
Not releasing visuals is management hoarding information to the benefit of the fatcats and the detriment of retail. It indicates (IMHO) that management is not dealing with retail in good faith. JMHO.
