I have always gotten fairly quick responses from RK. Not always what I wanted, but responses. Sometimes the questions are answered, sometimes they are avoided or ignored (even when they don't involve what I would call insider info), and sometimes he includes other info, probably as a result of using at least partially canned responses.

I also met and talked with him at the SHM. I also think he is genuinely excited and even protective of SFMI. Unfortunately, this "protective" attitude has led to what I consider a number of misleading or weasel worded PRs- ones where the info being put out was distorted or twisted to make things seem better than they were- even when the real info was positive. Maybe the best example was when the first payment was made to GHDC using "proceeds from the tailings"- which was interpreted by most of us to mean that SFMI had started generating revenue- which turned out not to be the case. SFMI's credibility took a hit- along with those of us who argued against the bashers about whether SFMI was generating revenue. Look throgh the PRs and you'll easily find other examples. Another problem is that promised updates are either late or never appear- with no explanation as to why. We still have no grade or revenue info from the first smelter shipment as promised- and no explanation why.

Go back and reread some of the basher posts from the last year or so. Almost all of them deal with matters that could have been prevented by more, and more open, communication.
