C. Lawrence Perkins, let's focused on what I said, and the facts. In my post, I wrote: "[it may] seem odd for an insurance company to take control." You replied: <<< An insurance company did not, repeat DID NOT "... take control".>>> SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- MDM assume management responsibility for Global's Hassayampa Mining facility MDM Insurance Services Inc., a corporation that engages in the processing and adjudication of health, dental, and disability insurance claims. <<< Paying any attention to the "insurance thing" only serves to give pixilated twits ammunition to conduct their campaign of FUD. >>> When this news release of thursday was read by shareholders not familiar with recent events documented on this thread, then stuff like how great and good and excellent this guy Mike is, is received with a "yea, thats what they said about the last guy given control, and what happen...". So what they retain is only dry facts, like insurance company. So they may react not like you want them to. And what is an insurance company ? I have no idea except sell policies. Does MDM sell policies, or just service them ? Or something else ? Readers get "insurance company" as "aftertaste". That its MDM Insurance Services and not MDM Insurance Company is not retained 5 minutes after reading the release. I'am not holding gpgi shares, never brought, but do want to, when the price reaches the bottom. Zeev speculates caution. I'll wait until the insurance angle plays out with current shareholders. Doug

(off topic) This is only a reply to style, not content. C.L., The Only, the only way I can describe your post is brilliant. Not for content, but for delivery. Jack and Chuca take content to a higher level. But for a visual, your use of shading and size and slant not only dazzle, but have life. One reads this post controled by what you have placed in front of the eyes. You post takes control and sets the pace and intensity of the read. Anyone can manulipate the words and characters, but few can do it the way you have. Your post becomes a conductor with a magic wand and sets the tempo and volume that will happen. If you could add color, it would be art. Add sound is ok, but you would have to have an "actor" speak your words, as in a play or an opera. Doug

CLP - <<< pixilated twits >> Ohhh...thank you, I like that one! Kinda more evocative and impressionistic than the cold and clinical "microcephalic". BTW, while I don't care for his music much, I don't think being in the insurance industry for a lifetime ever interfered with the brilliance and success of the composer Charles Ives!
