Mr. Brierley; Thank you for your comments, I assure you, as well received as they were written. You posted; "However, I don't agree that there is any sort of embargo on information in place with this company." I agree with you and I don't believe I indicated any embargo on information, at least I did not use those words. I don't believe anyone can stop the flow of information, they may seek to retard or accelerate it within legal limits, and I'm sure that is done. Information needs to be prepared and packaged, and there's nothing wrong with that. There's information that flows to friends and family. Company managment cannot be expected to sequester themselves away from their lives, like some juror in a high-profile case, and not repeat anything they may have heard or did during the day. It is the nature of information to flow. All too often, and I am sure there are those reading who know this by experience, companies put things on the back burner that should be given greater consideration in spite of the daily realities mitigating against such a decision. I have long held that it is insane, at least neurotic, for a person to know and believe without a single doubt one thing, and not behave 100% as if it were really true. It is our obligation to deliver the facts about Franklin Lake, what it means to be a part owner of Franklin Lake for the 21st century, and what global values can be realized by the rapid market onset of the products of such a world class precious metal discovery. If we were to hire a cracker-jack public relations company (and I'm not suggesting that we do) one of the first questions they ask their new client is, "Ok, what kind of business are you in?" Often times in the rush of daily business activity the answer to that question becomes hazy and ill-determined. This is dangerous for any company. If there is no dialog within the company considering all the possible answers to that question there most certainly should be. I don't believe in the case of Naxos that the answer is as obvious as we would be inclined first to think. I will not pose the questions to this thread since the discussion in a public forum would be idle speculation, maybe dangerous speculation. The time openly to discuss these issues should follow the release of certified numbers, some indications of homogeneity of the playa, and proof of economical recovery. I certainly am not calling for a public relations campaign nor a media blitz. I am calling for creative fore-thought, planning and preparation for a lot of explaining that we will be obligated to do. The blitz I am expecting will be huge numbers of intense questions coming our way from all quarters. It would be nice if we could be ready for them. Jerard P
