"Someone explain to me again how much more effective than predecessors this "new" CEO and BOD are."

Gosh, I thought that was obvious.  They are more effective at minimizing communications with shareholders, hiding information (even after promising to reveal it), spending money on redundant and unnecessary outside consultants, spamming this board with cheerleading over high volume trading - when it happens -, and a continuing a failure to seek potential partnerships with other juniors (when juniors are by far the largest participants in mining exploration).  They are also good at citing what they say are the failures of the past to justify their own being.

So what if Larry Liang was a goof?  Does that mean that BG isn't one also just because he is now CEO (and by whatever surreptitious moves he many initiated to get there)?
