Noront has some very high class programs for a Venture Junior selling under $l.00, such as a Million Dollar CEO, top-rated specialists in their fields, developed various gimmicks (not at nil cost), classy programs for FN (community website, Children's events, etc). All these things are wonderful in themselves, but are they proportionate to the Company's current situation and objectives?

Reminds me of our Government, running a stupendous $56 Billion Dollar DEFICIT! And then telling us we have it pretty good in Canada. With such an enormous future burden laid on us taxpayers, what would one expect in our economy? Chopped liver? Of course things don't look too bad -- for the moment.

Well, all that griping aside, I want to wish all our Forum contributors a wonderful Christmas and a much better New Year with our mutual holding. We have our regulars and our occasionals, all contributing to make up a lively, informative and clean venue. Good on all of you! Even those perpetually jaundiced who keep us on our toes!

Cheers!
