A poke is an old word for "Bag" - in old times farmers would take a small pig to a fair or to town to sell. Some farmers would take the RUNT. Not a Prime One but since the burlap bag was tight and since the value was sold by weight ( OPT ) then the anology applies. The drill here in the anology is sound as the noise comming out of the bag means it is in fact a squeel of a pig in a poke. Yet, the quality of the man ( pig ) is judged by the quality of his charachter ( ML King, Jr- Forgive the messed up quote ) but the pig in the poke I understand. I don't have any proof that Global has any test records and or test runs( Do we deserve such an UPDATE or do we accept the pig in the POKE after we bot several other Poked Processes these many years?). No. Trsut is not a factor here anymore, no communication,m no support, no way. Has Les communicated More, or just Les? Good question! What it is all based upon now is economics and OPT, the PIG IN A POKE amy mean that we get metal at any cost in order to produce a check. Yet, the economics must proove to use that5 we don't put in more ORE from the HEAD ORE than is needed to class the process from Prime Cut Ore to Flank Steak Cut. It is the RUNT in our bag now, untill prooven up with words that the new process is LARGE TONNAGE BULK EXRTRACTION CONTINIOUS LOOP FEED HEAD ORE , anything small is a runt. Runts will never be economic no matter how much garbage you feed into it over there usuable lifetime. Pig-stie keeping is best smelted with the quality pigs being fed up, a rate of return may be double or 50% less than normal all with the same expense factor of feed. Our farm had 34 animals at one time- no pigs- same factor with cows, goats and sheep. Why lug 100 bags of feed if the economics aren't there? We sold the farm as commerial-industrial real estate in the Regan Boom. It wasn't worth much as a farm but the acres counted. An office space for the busniness is easy to come by to replace the home office at that time. we have had our own pig in a poke, we have been POKED BY THE PIG. Pokey Little Puppy Pell Mell - TUMBLE BUMBLE!
