Thanks for the information. Sand is in a good area, there is little question about that. And I think that Sand is doing things right in most ways. It is in investor relations that the company lacks sophistication. I do not say this because I want the stock to be hyped or run up to an unreasonable number. But as a long time holder I am a little unhappy that the company does little to educate the stockholders or potential stockholders more in that there is a more reasonable way to track company progress. Sand is in a unique position to be able to fund its investment internally which is very nice. Little is said on that matter. Little is said about the relationships between the various parties that have signed some sort of agreements and what the various parties are looking for under those agreements.I guess what I am saying that I have tried to keep abreast of things and have little idea of what is going on. This does not make me happy nor is it conducive to a healthy stock. I think the stocks history shows that I am not alone here. There is a line between telling the world what you have and hype, and I am not sure that the folks at Sand know the difference. Marketing is essential to any product in generating both sales and interest in sales. The days of the world beating a path to the better mouse traps are largely over. You can have a great product but you have to make people want it. I would just feel much better to have a better idea of progress, or even lack of it.Hopefully we will get some idea of that with the next earnings report. I don't expect profits, just a better picture of where Sand is.
