Tim, I just remembered Richard's point being why put x cents a share into an IPM save when for the same money buy into Maxam Gold now. Guess the bottom line is that its hard to swallow the fact that as of this moment all investments in IPM are lost, and to put new money into an IPM save rather than Maxam or another company has to be a decision to be made. Boy, feelings in my head abound. Would really like to see IPM continue, and like to see some directors on the board from this thread that got us to this point. Richard's comments about the type have good merit, but the situation that got us here is very much not ordinary, and the last board was like all mining technology strong, and strongly failed us. At this point, seeing where we came from and who stepped up to become active, and knowing that there is the ability for them to communicate with lots of others doing this mining stuff, then I see me voting strongly for any next directors as the same as mentioned Chuck, Robert, Paunch and Ally. Rather be safe than sorry. Kinda like Pauch said, need people that have showned their hand open with no guessing required. And anyway, with Pauch's initial post, even if John Yellich was not a director, his very big expertise would be tapped very much so. Real world time. |
