May we all stick with issues rather than the personal attacks for those painting a picture as it is - not what we'd like it to be. The longer this hangs out in the breeze, the greater the risk - like in I-Net gambling. That's going to go - big time. Unfortunately, I doubt SGGNF is going to be leaving the station with the 'Vegas heavy hitters. They have the casinos and the cash (read reputation). Now Richmond - great project but I don't read anything better than last year (pardon me - most of the Council knows about it this application). I repeat - I know of no heavy support in Council for SGGNF. I do have an inkling of the vicious opposition from the power in the former VSE. They don't know the new Board from a hole in the ground (other than their significant signifcant successes in other fields). They have great animosity towards SGGNF that borders on the pathological. I have no idea why but only KH remains from the original Board. If there's a connection, I don't know and I'd rather stick with issues rather than people I really don't know. Be aware, though, that these same folks living just miles from Richmond will have not gone away. Richmond is a major hurdle - if it fails, I doubt HP will mean much. As for Toledo Beach, the local officials seem not to know much about it (shades of Richmond a year or so ago). Finally, the brokerage community in Canada is not positive on SGGNF (understatement) and the US exposure should have done something. It didn't and that despite the talk shows and incentives to the Florida firm (as I recall). Oh that this thing/mess would resolve positively in favor of SGGNF/shareholders!!! Believe what you will - Archangel and Cheeky are presenting you with fact. I suppose how you interpret that is your perspective - that will also be your reality. Rose colored glasses or harsh light of day. Again, whichever way it goes, may we all move on much wiser, at a minimum. We have apparently lost a number of the original group - remember them well - let's not drive away the rest - from posting. I wish us ALL well!!! PS: Let's not make this a Bre-X 2 situation - we're all in the same leaky boat and most of us will share the same fate - whichever way. R.W.
