Good morning to you too Igalop.

All the gas coming off the other site reminds me of the first symptoms post colonoscopy...and you seem to have a bit of perturbed flatulence yourself. The good news would be that the "polyp" excised was benign and the patient will have a long and enjoyable life with all shafts in good working order. Nothing like a good cleansing, a scope, an assay and then the hopefully good news...but it is a frustrating experience fasting for 24 hours before the procedure. No pain, no gain; no risk, no reward. What really counts is the results. Bitching about all the inconveniences misses the point ...forest for the trees etc. They say that passing gas is odorous so that the deaf (figuratuvely speaking) can appreciate it as well...and there are none so deaf as those who do not choose to hear...although I suppose extraneous noise can also rob from those who do want to hear.

By the way, thank you for promoting me to the high state of "influencer"...even with tongue in cheek. I would think that with your God given gifts of skillful sarcasm and snarky semantics you would no doubt have much more success than me merely by contacting PQ himself to get your message across. Pick your own phone and tell him how it is. You're the one that's annoyed...not me.

By the way, who says there isn't more news shortly to come? I never promised an overnight windfall in the share prices in SFMI that I can remember. There are other stocks out there with much more hype that will react upwards much faster with much less substance than SFMI... but this has been repeated once too often.

I have never said SFMI was perfect or didn't have warts and I have said this explicity. There are always delays that don't meet with many's expectations. Here is another bump in the road and I look at the PR and see all that has been accompished...not what hasn't been accomplished. There will be good news to follow....as there has been in the over 90 odd NRs to date.

If the results of the first batch of Dore is not that good, since it was only the first 20 days during experimental fire up of the mill and from the lower grade ore pile, it may be much better for the Co/shareholders to mix the proceeds in with the ongoing OSO piles with "uninterrupted production during the 2011 winter months". We are all told by many sources that these stores are high grade. If you don't buy it...sell. Being nearsighted can be a real impediment. Get some better glasses and take a Gas-X and relax.
