Your posting prompted me to go to the "other board," IHub, where I read "gitreal's" posting, which says, "The Arizona Dept. of Mines and Minerals had no say in where claims were allowed."

That was in response to what someone posted from here where I wrote concerning recent company history, "Five years of which was caused by the nearly unconscionable failure of the Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources to grant additional claims filings at Hay Mountain, claims that could have led to drilling without all the damaging organizational and valuation upheavals of recent years."

He responded, "The Arizona Dept. of Mines and Minerals had no say in where claims were allowed.  The Arizona Dept. of Mines and Minerals had no say in where claims were allowed. If it was State lands that they wanted to file a mineral lease on (for drilling), the ADMMR had nothing to do with it. Somebody is bullshitting you, (for drilling), the ADMMR had nothing to do with it.  Somebody is bullshitting you,..."

He is correct.  I named the wrong department.  However, that does not negate the point that the delay in granting the additional exploration permits could have led to drilling by now.  That is fact, not bullshit!

"gitreal" remains the most persistent and despicable of posters there, even though I sometimes agreed with him years ago when I visited there off and on - rarely now.  As shown, he will use any fragment of someone else's observation as a tool for bashing, even if his tool misses the point.  He is all about making others look bad unless they are entirely in his camp (being in all ways and forever fully and passionately anti-LBSR).

As evidence, he sometimes tries to make a point while showing that he isn't even following facts concerning developments with the company.  Where he says, "If it was State lands that they wanted to file a mineral lease on (for drilling)..." suggests he doesn't know the chain of events about Hay Mountain claims filings.  If he does not know, then I have to suspect his objections to the company are emotionally based and not supported by any caring of facts.  Did JB turn him down for a job once?  Did JB file a claim he wanted?  It all seems so personal for him.  

Back to your regular programming where the Arizona Cardinals are losing to the Houston Oilers.  No, excuse me, it's the Houston Texans these days.  We can't be celebrating extractive industries now, can we?  Environment over jobs.  

Go, birds!
