Well, I can vouch for Pic's knowledge of mining in general and SFMI in particular. He has done as much if not more due diligence as any of us.

And, in fact, I agree with him on a lot of his points. I'm just disturbed that he and others have decided that this board has to be constantly and completely positive.

I'm a very small shareholder compared to the millions of shares that others have - I only have about 3/4m shares and my total exposure is less than $50k, but that's $50k I really wish I had instead of the $1500 it's actually worth.

Of course, I'm not going to sell any time soon. I'd rather hang on and, hopefully, I'll recover at least some of that $50k so I can start over somewhere else. My "at risk" money is all wrapped up in SMFI and GHDC - I know, really stupid, the lure of what's in that mountain blinded me to the reality of the fact that it takes knowledgable people to get it out. But now I'm stuck with it and I'm just going to take my licks...

The only thing that bothers me is the attitude of the big shareholders on this board that all posts have to be positive.

Like I said - Orwellian...
