"The bashers will magically slink away back into their hole..."

That would be great, but I don't think it likely in this case.  I say that because I believe that two or three of them are on a Vendetta Ride, and out for whatever blood they can draw at any time.  News on a partnership for drilling or trenching will only cause them to double-down.  IMO, if they "thrive" on anything there, it's that they get any attention at all. 

As I posted earlier, there are other more popular public boards where LBSR could use some attention.  Let's not focus on IFlub outside of this one, which is not public (it's paid for by client companies). 

Happy Good Friday/Passover to all.
