Tim, there is a big difference between intelligence and a smart a--, with this post you clarified for most on this thread which one you fall into. Joe

Tim, And I might also add that your are familiar with the "popping" of vermiculite popcorn. I enjoy your product, and from time to time, I use it to anneal my high carbon knives. We have many experts in this area, and most I would describe as "drips under pressure"! I am certainly not one, but I must also add that I know few! If you know one, then tell me his name? If you are him, then just speak your own name! I love popcorn, and you might be surprised to know that I take a bag to work every day and I eat it according to my own pleasure. I refuse to eat vermiculite, but I do eat "corn popcorn". There is a basis for my logic. I eat corn, beans, and popcorn is "corn". Corn is lysiene poor and that is an essential protein, but there is "high lysiene corn", and that will be improved in the future. Corn and beans have provided sustinance for a significant portion of this world, and if you add a little rice and peppers, it gets a little better. I am a proponent of supporting "ethnic diets" and then doing a little study and adding a little more to them and if we do that, then we might improve the health of major populations of this world. Perhaps your mother provided the best in regard to diet, and we are finding that out in spades. Now, what did your mother tell you and what have you not done? Perhaps you need to contact the mother who gave you good advice which you probably did not heed! As usual, a person of much opinion, Jack!!

Tim, your posts have been objective and opinionated with a direction towards the view that you feel strongly that the desert dirt story of extracting pecious metals will never be realized. It has been easy for you to present objective facts simply because IPM, Maxam and GPGI have all to date not been able to deliver, and all have obtained a present low in stock price. OK. You hold no desert dirt stock, so you can be objective and take a "show me" attitude and even investigate and uncover and disclose facts, and "let the chips fall where they may". No problem, just so lies and 1/2 truths are not done. This is an public thread open in write mode to all SI members. Those who hold GPGI shares will ofcourse include some subjective thoughts along with objective ones. Those not holding GPGI should leave any subjective thoughts at those threads where they were created, else it may become difficult to know if the post written has GPGI in mind. With Dennis DeNoble's post of today, most, if not near all, of the concerns of the shareholders have been addressed in a positive way. For those that wanted a management shake-up, it seems that each has received enough verification of changes to see that movement has been made in the direction wanted. For some, too much, and for some, too little. But change for the better did happen. Dennis DeNoble did present the news release. Seems like he will remain. Will his role be more assertive and aggressive ? Mike McKay will, in my opinion, make that decision soon. And in my guess, the answer will be yes, and this will also address the official web site concern, and again in my opinion, the web site will reflect McKay's view on how this public company will be presented to the shareholders. Bottom line, if Mike McKay keeps Dennis DeNoble, then its because Mike feels Dennis will help GPGI. If you trust Mike, then should translate that to a trust in Dennis. I post this to you Tim, rather than popcorn lover Jack, because eventho I also eat enough popcorn per week to equate to average bag a day. But your post, below, popped me off. Tim Hall on Nov 4 1998 10:01PM EST Dennis, << Mr. Leece has experience in production methods used by GPGI>> Are you sure that this is accurate? What has GPGI produced so far? Do you mean that Mr. Leece is familiar with fertilizer production? thall Rather than do an objective remark, or even invoke subjective thoughts, you did a ridicule of information presented by Dennis. To me, that I found it to be distasteful is not a concern, but to receive this type of reply causes me to be distrustful of the sender. Only one explaination possible. Hidden agenda. If so, then all information has to be viewed as to advance your agenda. Like a chess game or poker game, where looking many moves ahead is required to end the game in success or victory. My guess, your hidden agenda is the one suggested many times, in that you have most of your friends in the mining industry related activity, and they would suffer if the desert dirt story came to be realized.
