My experience in the past asking Dr. Dave Webb questions
about specific companies has if i remember correctly has
always resulted with no comment, directly stated i think.

My impression is that "its the old boy network", if that expression
is what i think it is. As i am sure he has during his travels to those
trade mining shows in Canada, and in recent years to Mongolia
where all mining personnel stayed at the same hotel and drank
at the same watering hole, letting all companies be represented
in a single room that had operations in that country.

I think i am trying to say that he most likely knows of most all
and may have met many of every mining company mentioned
in those posts of your and others i did that cut & paste.

I felt that any mention of a company name would guarantee
a non reply, so i'm hoping that the approach and general methods
you guys are using may be an ok topic to comment on,
with the hope that he could introduct any other direction
to take to obtain insight or direction.

The only other thread he posts on is
Fortune Minerals Limited (TSE - FT)
which i believe he is or was on their board,
and i forget, but it may be the company Tyhee
has agreements with in the Northwest Territories.

(off topic)

just that story we most all have heard

Optimist v. Pessimist
---------------------
An optimist sees the best in the world,
while a pessimist sees only the worst.

An optimist finds the positive in the negative,
and
a pessimist can only find the negative in the positive.

For example,
an avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird dog.

His search ended when he found a dog
that could actually walk on water to retrieve a duck.

... he was sure none of his friends would ever believe him.

He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his,
a pessimist by nature, and invited him to hunt with him
and his new dog.

As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by.

They fired, and a duck fell.

The dog responded and jumped into the water.

The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked across the water
to retrieve the bird, never getting more than his paws wet.

This continued all day long; each time a duck fell,
the dog walked across the surface of the water to retrieve it.

The pessimist watched carefully, saw everything,
but did not say a single word.

On the drive home the hunter asked his friend,

"Did you notice anything unusual about my new dog?"

"I sure did," responded the pessimist.

"He can't swim."
