Msg from Bob Johnson: Disclosure: I currently do not... [end.] . Bob, Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease stop being MODERATED, as what you do outside of Silicon Investor's postings is none, i repeat, no ones' business except those whom you are directly in working activities with. To give advice good, bad, lies or just PLAIN stupid & dumb are words very well spelled out in the TOU Silicon Investor has us all agreed to, that being the truth or what-ever cannot be determined, so accept caution etc ect when readin others' postings. Now you seem to allow another here to DEMAND from you FULL DISCLOSURE as if what you state can be taken as TRUTH. Duh'ation times a zillion. Now might you short xyz and then post your opinion that this company xyz is in trouble based on your research ???? Sure times a zillion yes(s). But leave out your short postion ???? THATs YOUR DECISION, and golly Bob, everyone here has enough history from you to know you is honest and truthful, but that you can or can NOT disclose your FULL postion is TOTALLY up to you without any guilt or shame or con or scam attached by another if you don't. doug

look like another hit to hui tomorrow? conflict of interest? Hecla Director Steps Down COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, Oct 21, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) (NYSE:HL-PrB) today announced that David Christensen, a director at Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) in Toronto, has resigned his position as a board member of Hecla. Christensen stepped down from his position on the board to avoid any appearance of potential conflict of interest resulting from his research analyst position with CSFB. He took the position with CSFB subsequent to his election to Hecla's Board of Directors in May 2002. Christensen said, "I deeply regret the necessity of resigning from Hecla's board, but in today's corporate governance climate, it is the most prudent thing to do. I've greatly enjoyed working with the people at Hecla and had hoped to be able to contribute to the continued success of the company." Hecla Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Arthur Brown said, "I'm very sorry to lose David as a board member. I think he would have continued to be an excellent director, but I understand the conflict with his current situation, and concur with his decision in light of heightened sensitivity in the marketplace." Christensen was one of two directors elected by Hecla's Preferred B shareholders last May. His resignation is effective immediately. Hecla is reviewing the options and procedures relating to a vacancy of a preferred directorship. Hecla's board of directors now has eight members, most with long experience in the mining industry or other natural resource industries. Hecla Mining Company, headquartered in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, mines and processes silver and gold in the United States, Venezuela and Mexico. A 111-year-old company, Hecla has long been well known in the mining world and financial markets as a quality silver and gold producer. Hecla's common and preferred shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols HL and HL-PrB. businesswire.com
