Dear LoF - or anybody else - can somebody please explain to me the slide of this stocK? (I've been long since the KIWT days. ) It has continued to deteriorate. I know that all the telecoms have been hit. Qwest, however, has held up pretty well, and LVLT is doing the same thing they are. Ole - don't bother to reply. I already have you marked "ignore". I don't understand why anybody on this thread wastes their time with you. - Frank

No, LoF, I'm not relying upon WSJ reporting: *I just A) provided a THREAD SPECIFIC CITE which you* requested of another threader,** B) was called names by you for doing so, and C) NOW refuse to provide you any further cites due to your behavior. Really quite simple to understand. As far as what I'm "relying upon," I think it is a fair conclusion for you and other LVLT shareholders to draw, that I'm "relying" upon: my personal, first hand observations of LVLT's Kiewitters... over a period of 6+ months... about HOW LVLT "installed" 24 miles of conduits... out here in Oregon's "high desert..." this past spring, summer and early fall of 2000. Maybe if you saw them day after day after day on these 24 miles of install, you might form some opinions of your own about their potential for keeping their time schedule, even the "current" one being reported by you in your quote from March of '98, when what I furnished you upon YOUR request was from JAN 98 WSJ article. Looks to me like you have two problems now: 1) your unwillingness to take issue with the WSJ for what you claim is erroneous reporting by that esteemed staff writer and obviously the basis for your rising blood pressure... and/or 2) LVLT's mgmt moving the completion date out by a "mere 12+ months" within 3 months of their Jan 20 98 reported deadline quoted in the WSJ Jan 1998 cite I'll promise you this, LoF you'll remember this conversation and my first hand accounts of their LVLT's slow progress when LVLT's currently vaunted goaline/timeline passes and they do NOT bring this project in on time, even according to your March 98 cite which you are holding so near and dear to your breast. Or, more specifically, Do you think this CA mudslide/monsoon season "immoveable City Council" article statement of fact is going to be something that will go away? If it took them 6+ months in a very dry desert, do you think it will be an easier install in CA where it is more slippery?<g> FYI: We are already braced for another very mild winter out here on this coast due to the lingering effects of a la nina. AND in CA, that translates into increasing potential for rains and "pineapple express torrential rains" as they call the rainy season out here. Last year they had horrific mudslides, it is my understanding they are expecting more this year. FWIW: Horrendous mudslides mean opportunity, i.e., wonderful things for miners like me because it uncovered tremendous new supplies of placer gold in an era where mechanical hydraulic mining is forbidden and has been for over 100 years. But, believe me, nobody tells "God" that s/he can't turn hillsides into gooey, slidding, major highway burying messes and bring out the gold to folks like me. YEEEEEEEEHAW! Now, yes, or no: Are YOU going to take up with WSJ your claim that they misstated "facts/utterances/quotes" in the article their staff writer wrote and they published on or about Jan 20, 1998 that has you twisting in the wind so vociferously? Naw, don't bother t'answer...you'd rather goad me, right?<g>
