I didn't see Pan's post as anyway close to libel, it was an opinion, that he should be freely allowed to express. Opinions both con and pro are the lifeblood of these forums, if they are restricted to just facts related strictly to the geology of the area involved then interest very quickly dries up. Should we have some of Solo's, sometimes over the top, exhuberant posts deleted? I don't think so. He/she obviously does a lot of digging and thats to be commended, but his/her final analysis can be a little, 'over the top'. We need that, especially during these long dry spells. Pumpers and Bashers are with most of the active Forums, unless it gets down to personal insults of Forum members they should be allowed to remain.
As far as the CEO is concerned, well his CV is not what you would call really extensive, every job has its learning curve, he has probably picked up a few pointers in the last little while. As far as the CFO is concerned, he too does not have a really extensive CV. I don't think I would like to brag about being the CFO of Breakwater, a company that has been teetering on the brink for as far as I can remember. I've found that the most interesting Forums are the ones where the opinions are varied and create discussion, not stifle it. IMO
