Sculpin, I sure hope you will reconsider. There are some tiny investors here like myself who are small investors because we lacked the money to be big investors but who know absolutely nothing about gold mining or exploration or really about investing. Our hopes for the future are tied up in this stock. We depend on you, Bow, Hog, Mr. Hobbes, and two or three others for guidance and direction as you have proven your knowledge and understanding (at least as far as I am concerned).

Without the guidance of you guys when the time comes to make a move I will for one have no idea in the world what the best course will be--what move I should make or when to make it. Maybe that will become clear without you guys, especially if we are paid in the form of a dividend but it may not be that simple. I have a thick folder of printouts I have collected from you guys with your posts and believe me many of those printouts have your name on them. Without some direction I am truly flying blind. A lot of guys are caught up in emotion right now. Don't let it bother you. Hang with us small guys through to the end.
