This was posted on the yahoo RNTK board:

Okay RNTK Fans, I just got off the phone with Mark and here is the deal. By the way, I STRONGLY urge any invester who is nervous and doen't believe everything they read here (who does) to call Mark at RNTK (303-298-8008, press option #2). He is an extremely nice guy who is happy to speak to any invester. He gave me 20 minutes of his time and I was the one who had to go.
So here are the facts (most of the "real" investors who have done their own DD know this information so bear with me. We are trying to help the rookies and although I have read every post, I consider myself a rookie)
1. Don't worry about the Shell/Tx thing- the technology Shell has is more similar to SLHO than it is to RNTK so it won't compromise the Tx deal.
2. The WEIL conference went very well- a lot of interested parties, but most won't consider investing until RNTK lands a Texaco or a Conoco to move the stock out of the "penny range".
3. He did meet with Joe (aka Tokyo Mex) in New York and some of the things Joe said may have been embellished a bit (although mostly accurate).
4. Only two companies out there are willing to license GTL technology- RNTK and SLHO. SLHO is only good for natural gas and doesn't have any patents for GTL technology. RNTK can do refinement (bottom of the barrel) and natural gas and has 9 patents and 6 patents pending.
5. The deal with Conoco is for Natural gas.
6. The analyists value RNTK at 100 million (with 2 million in sales) and feel it has greater potential and should follow a higher path than SLHO did.
7. There is a gag order and neither TX or RNTK employess can purchase or sell stock.

I also believe the Pick of The Day while fun is counterproductive to the interests of RNTK stockholders. As David says we don't know whether a deal will be done in 1 week, 1 month or 3 months. Let's encourage buy and hold. Though I will miss picking up cheap shares from those that fold.

David, I respectfully disagree with your comments about the "Pick the TX/RNTK Deal Day" contest. I think it's adds a little bit of fun to this thread. Who cares if somebody is wrong about the date. How many people have come on this thread just to pick a day? Quite a few. I think it gives them some sort of involvement. Some people pick the date because it's their birthday or one of their family members and some pick it because it's the day they got married. Let's don't let this thread get stiff. If it's counterproductive it's only because the person it is effecting is not actually a true believer in RNTK.

What would happen if some people who read this thread just to see him posting his daily "contest" post didn't see him posting it any more. Those people may start to feel like there is no deal anymore. Wouldn't that be counterproductive as well?

Of course, Doug may be getting tired of having to read this thread and post it every single day and it's his decision on whether or not he wants to keep posting it.

BTW, Doug, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to keep doing this day in and day out. It's a lot of work for one guy to do. What simply started out as a little thing has grown into a daily tradition.
I'll bet you didn't expect this, did you?

Other than that David, I pretty much agree with you on everything else.

P.S. Good job on CMP.
