Frank, I think in this business, unfortunately, many burned people are inclined to trust noone and assume dishonesty and the worst of intentions when one publicly speaks out. I have learned the hard way, this can often be true. There have been many such bucket shops and the like simply selling their shares on a tout. However, in my experience here, you have consistently shown to have good intentions with your posts. - I think the sharing of one's sentiments is appropriate in this forum, within reason. I think you've been within reason! Recently, there has been an additional 'you' that you've chosen to share with the gang: First, there's 'you' as an individual shareholder and player. Second there's now 'you' as part of your newly formed IBC (or the like), which is a distinct entity which buys and or sells separate from your personal trades. This may be where some of the confusion of readers has originated. Sometimes when you speak for your conglomerate, it might sound as though you're speaking of your own personal account (and vice-versa). -You have several times in the past reported that your personal account holds shares purchased at much higher levels than current ones, along with some in line with current levels. Anyway, this business has had some dirty players in it; many of us have been burnt, and are therefore highly suspicious. But in my reading of your posts here for the last year and a half, I feel you are a well-advised, money-where-your-mouth-is, enthusiastic believer in this play. And you have great contacts! - - - - - - Finally, I also think you will be duely rewarded when this Alberta diamond play finally comes to fruition (ie, the acknowledgment of a diamond mine!). Granted, as you posted earlier, many of us have been hurt by Ashton shareprices of late, but I try not to look at that (can't, I'll snap! :)-- I look at the bigger strategy behind the whole deal. . . 'Course that doesn't pay the bills, which I must say are getting a lil too big for my liking, but ... ! Gotta run-- I just wanted to say that I for one am glad to have someone such as yourself that possesses the nature, contacts, and business means that I perceive you to have, on board. Cudos. -j :>

Frank, You know we have spoken before, I guess I do believe you are trying to be straight and honest, in your view, of this ADP, however, I just do not understand why you or your investment group would want to telegraph your intents. Fine, tell everyone of the position you have taken, but it makes no business sense to create "competition" for yourself and investment group while trying to allegedly accumulate. The rule of thumb to me is to do the opposite of a recommendation coming from someone who is telegraphing their intent. Perhaps you might explain your approach to this so I might understand. Thanking you in advance.
