I agree with you as well . Gary is a miner, he knows it inside and out. He is not a promoter. You are right about those kinds of details i'm sure. There will always be things like that . The comments about hiring another family friend etc. raises eyebrows, he knows that as well. The shorts have choked him off now for almost 8+yrs. harder and harder to get financing. Again this is just my opinion but i think some of the money that people have been complaining about being sucked out of slglf to Tri-con has been coming back to help finance slglf over the yrs. The bashers have hammered his personal integrity and moral fiber right to the core. He will win in the end. What really would help right now is someone who knows how to market his co. He is not going to roll over and die . Patience, thats where the bashers win. They get into peoples minds and create doubt and then get them p o to where they sell. I bought into this knowing patience and time would be the main ingredients. I have owned a small bus. in the past for yrs. i do not know anything about mining. What i do know is what it takes to survive and that special something inside that makes you want to win. He has it. I am now getting down off my soap box.
