Greg, Well, seeing your reply certainly raised one of my eyebrows. I am assuming that this is the same Greg John who works at the Playa, and who is J.J.'s son. I did not mean to imply that your reporting an assay value to three decimal places was a deceitful attempt at seeming accurate. Actually, I personally have no way of assessing the accuracy of that value. What I did find rather humerous was that the other two assays were reported to only two decimal places and the third was reported to three places. I am not sure why you wouldn't just report all assays to two decimal places. After all, you can always take a number with three significant digits and report it to two significant digits (but obviously the reverse is not true). The fact that there was an asterisk next to the third assay and a note stating that it would be repeated implied that there may have been a problem with that assay. In that situation, it certainly seems a bit much to report it to three decimal places, doesn't it? It is sort of like missing the forest for the trees. In any event, there is absolutely no excuse why the date should have been wrong. That is just shabby quality control, and Greg if anyone has the power to get the message to the right people, you do. Really, these press releases should be written with less ambiguity and more attention to detail. I think that will help inspire investor confidence. By the way, the reason that I don't have my E-mail address on SI is because I don't want it getting onto some generic mailing list where I will be eternally damned to receiving electronic junk mail. I will likely send you an email and then you will have my address. Other people on this thread have it and contact me from time to time. Take care, Doug
