Cynbin, It would be great to have another business person join the others on this forum. Many of the business perceptions on this board, that I have read, have been slanted to management knows best. Although I appreciate what Lori has achieved it's wise for the shareholders to have a watchful eye on management and to air their concerns. As I've said I'm really glad that Lori has added two business oriented people as directors. Hopefully they will not be "yes men". We'll have to see where they help lori lead this company. Come join us Cynbin! It won't be smooth, but it should be profitable if you read the posts of some of the talented technical people on this board (Sculpin particularly and there are many other great contributors). In the long run, the gold that is hopefully in the ground, should assure us of a big payoff in the future. JW
