Carl --
Thanks for your calm thinking. Such an attitude is what I'd expect from a truly free forum of ideas and opinion.
There are posters whose specialty is distraction by noise and vitriol, and I suppose we can be thankful for the three-posting limit of a trial subscription!
Here's a Carson item from last February. This appears to be one of the first published references to the "Big Picture." Bob Bishop also knew all about the Big Picture, and even tried to explain what it was last month in Vancouver at the Personal Investment Conference. It sounds all very exciting and according to the unofficial official rumour mill, is still a "go" in Crystallex's coporate-strategy office; the company has never uttered a word about it.
Notice also the positioning of the upcoming court decision as a mere formality -- what Mr. Oppenheimer described as the "enforcement of ownership rights."

Carson says court decision a 'rubber stamping'
Monday Feb 9 1998
Caracas-based Roy Carson, writing in a February 7 e-mail, advises his
subscribers to view the upcoming supreme-court decision as simply a formality. He further tutors his readers that Crystallex International is about much more than simply a company with a title-claim lawsuit over the Cristinas 4 & 6 concessions, which are being worked by Placer Dome. "By recognizing it for what it is (a rubber-stamping!)," he says, "and by grasping even a (necessarily) limited appreciation of the 'wider picture' -- which will be revealed to you shortly -- you will understand that LC 4 & 6 is indeed a major part, but NOT the whole, of Crystallex's plan to pioneer a breakthrough in Venezuela's mining industry." Mr. Carson does not offer any hints as to what the 'wider picture' is, or when details will be revealed, or by whom. Offering even more insiderish hints, Mr. Carson says "two gentlemen" are booked into the Caracas Hilton, and they are not here to enjoy the tropical weather. Instead, they have a "plethora of top-level meetings," he says.
