Findstock, I agree next PRs must have figures attached. We are dealing with an industry who's players and audience are based on emotions. The worst enemy an investor has whether dealing in micros, big blues, options, and in my case futures is his / her emotions. I must admit the reaction to this mornings news was somewhat disconcerning, but I am a believer in NSKY and with the advent of future projects and PRs we will be rewarded for our patiences. Colleen and Winchester seem to have done a lot of great work and this will bring fruition to our shareholder equity. However, their perception of good PR and that of the investment community vary, as was seen this morning. We must challenged them (as owners of NSKY) and teach them the investors psyche. Retaylor and Donster have had much interaction with Colleen and they could be an excellent channel. I've challenged companies in the past and you'd be surprised how receptive they can be to what's being said on the street, or in this case investors on a thread. Allow me to share a story that I experienced first hand earlier this summer. I had been following a company in Northern Ontario for over a year, and new from contacts that this exploration company was sitting on a world class deposit. I had a sizable investment in this company and was getting frustrated with the lack of proper PR so I took matters into my own hands and chartered a bush plane and flew way up north where the flies are the size of small barn animals (no wonder why the fishing is great up there). I met up with the company's president and a few key players (all of whom were geologists) . We started talking about share price (sliding), the VSE where the company was trading (sliding), lack of investor friendly PRs, yady yady yada! They showed me the open air deposit, core samples, mineralization formations. The geologists went over concentrations with an air of excitement, heck the geologists were "emotional" about their piece of rock and rightfully so! One of the geologist walks up to me with a large rock sample incrusted with minerals. I said wow that looks like what you've been describing to your investors on your last 4 PRs, but if I hear about it again you might as well drop that rock on my foot! As you can imagine, I had caught them totally of guard. I spent the next four hours teaching them about investors and their psyche! The value of their resources, like NSKY's upcoming projects, were totally viable resources but they needed to be properly and effectively communicate to "The Street". Oh by the way, their next PR was amazing, they were noticed by three mutual fund managers wanting a piece of the action. Geologist are emotional about rocks, producers about their movies, but we are investors, the owners, and we would like to see the numbers! The Hydra
