Ms, Aardvark, I'd just love it if you would allow "The Mooner" to switch to your moniker. It fits him (or her--you taught me well) to a tee. I'm not suggesting that give yours up. I'm sure you have an attachment. But "would it spoil some vast eternal plan" if the Mooner used your moniker ----at least until the DA is signed, sealed and delivered. Having said this, I do find the wording within today's 8-K, both curious and mysterious. Allow me to quote. "but there is one more paper that YOU HAVE TO AGREE TO AND SIGN"? No hint,no nothin? Is it a thank you note, an apology, perhaps a bunch of airline tickets to fly us all over to Oman to witness the ground, or rather the sand breaking ceremony. Why the MOT, our friend, couldn't feed us a bone after all that we have endured,surely would not be an unreasonable gesture. N'est-ce pas?-------BILL.
