B,

I share your concerns. I've been following on ihub but not posting- I'll try to post when I get a chance (the name "spiny" was taken over there, so it would be under another moniker). BTW, tobinator is not a basher. He's one of the most respected posters around, and he also has a mining investment site and excellent free quarterly newsletter (which I get). The questions he asked are valid, and it's a shame he didn't get a response. It would really help if anyone can convince Rich or Pierre to respond and deal with tobinator's concerns- especially if he then featured SFMI in his newsletter as he was considering. Toby's recs are highly regarded.
