LLLefty, I agree with your posts. When I got into TLM, they did not own any production in Sudan so Sudan wasn't really an issue. I really know very little about what is actually going on in Sudan, beyond the well-known famines, and the American bombing a while back. Doug's postings have been somewhat helpful to me, and I am quite interested in seeing what the US Congressional hearings reveal. The testimony in these hearings should be a more reliable source of information than propeganda presented by the various factions in this dispute. One suggestion is that there is surely more than one company operating in Sudan, and it might be more appropriate to start an "Investment in Sudan" thread. This would give the topic the wider audience that it deserves - the TLM thread isn't followed by that many people. Regards, John Sladek

Sorry, LLLefty. I know that there is a lot more involved than Talisman's financial well-being, and I never meant to imply otherwise. In fact, I'm out of the stock right now, having sold my position at US$31.50/share several weeks back. Unfortunately, I've been listening to Doug's anti-Sudan, anti-Arakis, Anti-Lundin, anti-Talisman political soapbox for over two years now. Believe it or not, he's even had the audacity to paint the opposition party rebels as virtual saints, arguing Quixotically against actual evidence of their own sordid history of human rights abuses throughout this interminable civil war (reference the telling Amnesty International report). Plus he tends to spew this stuff across multiple threads (e.g., Arakis Energy, Lundin Oil, Strictly Drilling & Oilfield Services). Sometimes I just get tired of listening to some of the bull#&%$. Witness the following post from Doug (albeit from another thread)... Message 11108578 I let it go at the time, but I was thinking about it when I made that last post. So I'll just shut up and go back to lurking. You guys can hash out these political issues all you want. I've already had my fill of Doug's sermons. All the best, Razor
