Kevin, I couldn't find anyone who had posted on the UP, AOW or ADA thread on Aug. 21 who hadn't posted before. Which posts might have questionable motives? or is that a cryptic reference intended only for the cognoscenti? Today's half-million block trade shows that some people with plenty of resources available have very strong opposite views of the prospects for UP---someone with 500,000 shares available was willing to part with them for only C$1.55, apparently believing that UP's prospects aren't all that great, while someone else is confident enough that UP's share price will go up to shell out that much dough for a big stake in UP right now when the legal matters are very much up in the air. No wonder, then, that little shareholders who have to be content with little bits and pieces of information about the co. have widely divergent views of UP's prospects.

Kevin, well my motives are simple. I'm a shareholder in AOW and ADA. Both of these companies, in my opinion, have been treated badly by UP. It has cost me money. There is legal action against UP and AOW by Pannonian. If it is is not settled, and I certainly hope it will be in the next couple of days, it may well dramatically effect UP shareholders--in my opinion. The amount that might be named in the suit is not trivial. I am suggesting that with the high volume today and the upward movement in shareprice, that it may not be a wise investment decision to jump on the train with the idea that the conference will bring all kinds of upward movement to the stock. This is just my opinion, time will tell if I'm over reacting and misunderstand the terms and nature of the alledged improprieties that Mr. Jarvis, AOW and UP are being accused of in sworn Affidavits and evidence submitted before the court. Best regards, Lew
