Doug - I cannot agree with the statement that investors cannot visit the site if the financials are not current. Seems like a a silly reason to not respond to requests for a trip date. I seems to me that the SEC is being used as an excuse for anything GE does not want to do at this point. Next they will be blamed for the financials that were promised in three weeks, over three months ago. When the trip was discussed several months ago, TT said that he did not want visitors on site when BD, or other contractor, was present. There was never any mention of the financials preventing a shareholder on site visit. And speaking of a visit, when is John C. scheduled to go down to visit GE? I can do my own DD if you do not know. If GE believes what you are saying, and I know when John C. is going down, maybe I will be able to figure out when GE will finally get the financials current. And, Doug, I asked you in a PM whether you thought that the contention that the coops are very unhappy with GE was a lie. You not believe that the Coop members are unhappy with GE? And since you mention coop member manipulation by SR people, do you think that the coops have no valid reason to be upset with the way that GE has lived up to their agreement with the coops? The only reason for their dissatisfaction is that SR people are stirring up the locals?? If you know who some of the pro GE coop members are, could you please let me know, I definitely would like Bill to speak to some of them while in Bolivia. He could arrange a meeting with them. I would like to read the opinions of several coop members in the Cima Trip report. As for the non compete contracts that have been mentioned on the threads several times, I hear that they are very difficult to enforce especially when the limitations are too broad. What do you think the odds are that GE will win their non compete lawsuit? It seems that the future of at least one junior mining company could be very changed by the result of that suit. Please check with your sources, you seem to be the only one on this thread who can get relevant information out of GE. I appreciate your efforts in bringing verifiable information to the shareholders. Colleen Colleen
