Hello Surething, I agree with your sentiments wholeheartedly. This thread has allowed all of us threadsters the opportunity to participate in a multi-layered, often controversial, yet ultimately a cathartic type discussion. Now that the worst is over for Winspear,its shareholders, and I believe its shareprice, perhaps throwing away one's hatchet is not such a bad idea. Perhaps the next song from Tomato will be a little more positive? Perhaps the next movie I review will have a happy ending? (sorry Fix, I don't have your experience in the porn business to write a review of Tomato's favourite Halloween s**k flick.) Tomato for a song, one of my jewish friends suggested "Diamonds are a Goy's best friend." GOLDIGER

Walt, how about an ice report? I heard from Whitehorse that they were getting cold clear nights which are good for ice making. Today, I heard form manitoba and t hey've got a foot of snow. Not good for ice making. Any idea when the ice roads might be ready? That wil determine how soon WSP can get equipment up to their site. Last year they got onto the ice late which was better than some companies which never got onto the ice at all because in their areas it was too dangerous because of the snow pack. Also, regarding that eighteen feet down to the diamondiferous dyke, what kind of ground to they have to dig throuhg? Muskeg? Mixed soil and rock? Local solid rock? I haven't bene in that area but from photos I've seen it looks like there is little elevation between the lakes and the local ground. If they get a bulldozer in on the ice road, digging down in witner will save them having to constantly pump water. Eighteen feet doesn't seem like much but in areasa I've been in there'd be no digging by hand, not because of lack of permits but because it would be impossible. In winter you'd need to thaw the ground or dynamite it, in summer you'd need to have pumps to keep from drowining. It's easy to armchair quarterback but the local conditions are often very difficult.
