Dennis, <<approximately $5,000 per letter>> What does it cost to submit status reports, or updates to newswires like BusinessWire or PRNewswire? Many companies use that method for communication. One of the things I never liked about GPGI was goofy press releases posted by shareholders (Currie etc.). Also a little feedback, the tone of your post is defensive. There are always positive things that can be said to help investor confidence. Seems that investors need a big dose of confidence now. You have enough guys like me to counter with the negative. Good IR knows how to ignore nonsense while promoting the positive. Don't make the job harder than it needs to be IMO. Good luck in your work.

Dennis, Mia culpa, I mean not to demean you nor the company. I simply attempt to voice the views of what I think the average shareholder is feeling. You may notice that my post anticipates the time slippage in all these events. I must say that I am heartened by your arrival as a company agent, and I have forecasted on more than one occasion a near bottom in stock price and a greater future for the company. I am also heartened by your post here. I thank you for it! I know that you have hit the ground running, as we used to say in the U.S. Army!! You look like a raal trooper to me, and even though you are an ageing pilot, I would feel comfortable flying with you!! I like for my pilot to be experienced, and to be able to read the weather and the currents. I hate clear air turbulance, and I want a pilot who can by his experience "feel it happening and react appropriately"! I have never been a flyer, but I have been a diver. I have to say that both operate in a harsh environment, and there are many similarities in many aspects. What does this have to do with investments! Same harsh environment!! Time for me to shut UP!! I mean that sincerely, since I have said more than I should on many occasions and not enough on others. I am of the opinion that you and I are more alike than different in our outlook for this company! I am most glad that you are aboard, and I look for great things from the "right old fart", and that is you!! Pardon my harsh description!! P.S-- I consider that an endearing term!! Old Fart, Jack!! With that said, I will attempt to keep my big mouth shut and let you do your very important job!!!! To Zeev--Dead Cat bounce in the energies, watch for a bottom soon!! Bigmouth, Jack!!
