Ron:
Whatever I have done to generate your attack, I'm sorry. I must not have been as clear in what I wrote as I thought I was. I thought that I have always agreed IPJ has done well and I wish them good luck. I don't believe I said anything about what they have, which could well be the best properties going. The message I wanted to send was that I do things differently. (Perhaps paying for a "report" headlined "Once-in-a-Decade Opportunity" isn't hype... Nor must be: "...extraordinarily valuable project potentials to be a screaming, 'fly-away' winner...") I've been wrong before. Lots. And I'll be wrong again. For example, I've been knocked for not putting out enough news. I've also been knocked for putting out too much. Both criticisms are fair in context. And I'm a big enough boy to understand your frustration.
Meanwhile, I'd like to point out something else: If IPJ does well, particularly in Indonesia, that helps us a great deal. We are anxious for someone credible to find something there which excites the market because, as you point out, the place is highly prospective. If it's IPJ, that's terrific. (Yeah, and if it's us, even better.)
As someone else said, I gain no benefit from seeing someone else's share price come down. But I also believe that we all gain when education is the goal.
