It makes me nervous that BG is a LAWYER.
IMO, throwing JB overboard was a 'cut off your nose to spite your face' act of arrogance. BG can't masquerade as a Geologist by cutting and pasting prior JB missives OUT OF CONTEXT, nor can he bring in some Octegenarian geologist and pass them off as having the same intimacy of knowledge of the DISTRICT that JB has.
BG had/has ONE JOB - find a partner with a willingness to help drill - I am waiting to see him do it, and I am not seeing much - are any of you?
