There have been so many posts to wade through, I had to pick and choose to try and pick up the pertinent threads. To me the bottom line in many posts appeared to have many opinions voiced without any facts, a pathway that always leads to folly. Again, if one uses philosophy, it should be done correctly, not:

All grass is green. All frogs are green. All frogs are grass.

It would appear that the short news that emerged after the blackout, perhaps was about the only prose that could be said that said nothing. The blackout was entered for a purpose, and not for that tidbit that followed. Perhaps we will know the purpose soon, perhaps not. Whatever the purpose was, it did not deter Lori from her plan and she did not release, for example, the complete Titan survey. This survey will be released as per her schedule. It would appear that a subject was expected and didn’t appear as promised, but that is a guess without a fact.

I am rather taken aback that people criticize statements such as the travelling expenses when there are no details or breakdown given. Once these are analyzed there will be ample opportunity to give valid opinions. Statements that Lori needs more members on the board in order to qualify for Amex etc. are a waste of time. Do you really think Lori needs help on matters such as that?

The disappointing part was the injury to our hub leaders. Hopefully that will settle down because we are going to need guidance in ascertaining results of trenching, drilling etc. in the months to come. Commenting on this aspect, I would like to see our hub leaders not respond to questions that are fully explained in the library. Others can do this if they are so inclined, but I would like to see some pressures taken off their day by confining their answers to the more technical subjects that emerge from time to time. Having these knowledgeable people has been invaluable to us, and having at our fingertips the library they built, a huge time saver.

In conclusion, our share price is going to fluctuate daily and weekly. If this is upsetting to you, again try looking at the underground values if you haven’t memorized them by now – Tesoro hasn’t changed.
