Hey Kemo,

I certainly hope you didn't think I was directing my post to you, if you took it that way I sincerely apologize for that as it was not my intention.

I also hope you don't feel I was ranting and raving as I can assure you it was intended to make a very important point in my opinion and I was as calm as a church mouse when I wrote it.

To answer your question on what to do regarding managements misgivings...first and foremost I would put my hand in fire that the pulse of the shareholders are being monitored by management through various ways including this forum...so I simply suggest that management should not get a free pass and that the shareholder base should stand up and voice thier opinions in venues such as these when our interests are not being properly protected/managed and we should do it in a respectful way.

What I mean by apologizing...I mean that some posters go beyond simply supporting management (which of course everyone is entitled to choose to do if they see fit)... and start to construct excuses for those unprofessional actions. I will give you an example to illustrate my point.

When Lori made an inappropriate comment in the Shareholder Address phone call some defended the comment by saying she is just a little rough around the edges and that it doesn't matter if there is gold in the ground. I happen to think that it is short sighted for shareholders to dismiss such things as it directly affects shareholder confidence and in turn thier investment.

there are quite a few other examples including ones from the most recent Calgary meeting, but the specifics are not important.

My point all in all is to say that shareholders should remain eyes wide open to more than the DD and to forever question themselves why things are happening especially things that do not serve our interests well...in the end I feel if we are all respectfully diligent it will serve all of our investments outcome.

my apologies to anyone I may have offended.

S.
