But as suggested on a number of occasions here before, there ain’t much new to talk about that ain’t been said before. And I certainly wouldn’t want to bore anybody with <<the huge (to me) financial "contribution" that I also made to ELH beneficiaries unknown !! >> Now, if somebody showed me how to get my hands on them there bene… Ah, what’s the point of sour grapes? Shot my elks, the whole herd is gone and there is not a pound of meat left in the freezer. Peas!! Got some frozen peas in the freezer! That and a bit of bird chit left behind by the kookaburras, maybe open a stale tin or two and then find some enemies to invite over for dinner… Nah, there is no point. I do, however, still have tons of Xenolith. According to page 2,644 of my ancient dictionary, a xenolith is “a fragment of a rock included in another rock” - in short, a tough nut to crack as I read it. Maybe that’s why it’s so heavy and impossible to unload? <gg> Seriously, I’ve been working very hard on my dod.com business now that all the .coms have gone to hell, and I only come here occasionally, when my depression shows signs of lifting. We wouldn’t want the sucker to go unchecked. Good to hear from you all. Check - out, gain. BTW, Grayhairs, I finally saw your post on PWI on the "Canadian REITS and Trusts" thread today. I didn't know you were into those things?? I have never been to that thread before but...guess what my first diatribe on OilPatch Updates is going to be? I'm actually defending the O&G Trusts!!! Can't believe these twofaced analysts. Right after they helped to flog 578 million dollars worth of the stuff on the unsuspecting, income deprived public (and I’m only talking the last 2 months of 2001 here), there’s hardly a soul with a kinder word than “hold” for the Trusts amongst them. Where were they with theirs “sells” last spring and summer? Ah, you got it – flogging the same stuff at 50%+ higher. See, I may have lost a few antlers, but I still have my ability to make instant new friends. <gg> Good night.
