Raymond, The previous postings brought the point up... but what Agora posted was a complete and "uncut" news release. You could argue that a post from someone saying "James Speros took a position at SYD" is enough info. for us to know what is going on.... but I personally prefer to see the "actual" news release(s) in question. That way I can make the most informed decision possible with regards to the relevance and impact of said news release. What AGORA presented was the exact, uncut and unaltered news release that contained information regarding James Speros. If this same news release would have already been posted, I would have been put off by the duplicating of information myself, but it was not a duplicate. The news release contained the "actual" detailed news of what James Speros and SYD are doing together. I personally also would not want AGORA (or anybody else for the matter) to just "cut out" the part about James Speros... why you might wonder... ? Well, the reason for that is as follows. If I believe the news is "noteworthy" (which in this case it could be), then reading some of the other bits of the news release may give me a perspective on just how significant the news is in regards to MIQ.... I guess to use this situation as an example, I might have shrugged at James Speros becoming a part of SYD.... saying it was a part time gig, he was mostly there as a figure head, etc... BUT, after reading bits of the rest of the news release, I may change my view of that... I might then start to think that this job with SYD will require ALL of his time. It could appear that the demands of James Speros' new position on his time will be great! .... and this could lead me to wonder just how much time/attention/effort he will be putting towards his other interests (MIQ). ..... that news release was relevant IMHO... I do believe that AGORA also intended it to give them a bit of added advertising for SYD... but it also was relevant to MIQ... I hope you see my way of viewing this.... I tend to think that your response to AGORA's post was largely motivated by your frustration at the lack of material news regarding MIQ and the drilling results.... I think everybody here is getting sick watching the stock stay low and inactive while there is no word on the results yet... Chad
