Hi Jeff, I agree that the investors should continue to look for the truth and keep each other informed. However, I don't think we are going to find the truth unless we all take our blinders off. You stated: "A couple of us were alerted to the fact that this company was about to spring forth" "Now there are some of us who feel Mark is the exception to the rule.." I don't understand how you can think of Mark as a exception. I can only assume that the alert came from Mark. Isn't this nothing more then insider information? In my books... this makes him no different then the rest. How can we put our faith and trust in Mark? I'm going to be blunt... I do not have faith in Mark. My gut tells me that he was about to sell the MIDL investors down the river AGAIN with the Noble deal. While trying to find all I could about Noble... I found a interesting article that posed some real questions in my mind. I did not post the article because of the typical blasts one got when questioning anything about MIDL. I did however send the article to Gary. I had hoped Gary would/ could question Mark about it. Gary never responded to my message. I'm going to give Gary the benefit of the doubt by saying.. he might not have responded because of the SEC investigation. Heck, he might not have responded because of a couple of my posts venting my frustrations with the "stupid" bickering on this board. I think it's time everyone put their cards on the table. I am going to post the article on the next message. It may not be relevant to Noble... but I think after you read it... you will understand my concerns. I wish everyone a Christmas filled with love and a Happy New Year. Sincerely, Debbie

OK.. I realize some may be unhappy with what I am about to post. Everyone wants to protect their investments. I'm no different. I've tried to convince myself that I should keep my mouth shut.. see how this thing played out. But that's BS. There has been enough of that already. In the picture that Gary had (from the Noble/CNHH days) the Ferry had Ventouris Lines on the side of it. This was suppose to be one of Nobles Assets. Not being able to find anything on Noble.. I started searching Ventouris. This article is from a Socialist Worker Newsline, dated 15 August 1998. The Link is no longer any good, but, I am posting it for record purposes. socialistworker.co.uk <<Greeks bear grudges IF YOU are lucky enough to be on a Greek ferry this summer then watch out for bodies bobbing in the water. They could be ferry bosses. Karl Marx called the ruling class a band of hostile brothers. He could easily have been referring to the Ventouris family. They own Ventouris Sea Lines which runs many of the ferry routes to the Greek islands. Different branches of the Ventouris family have been at war with each other, ramming each other's ferries, as they bid for control of the routes. Last year one Ventouris brother was accused of hiring divers to blow up his brother's ship. Now the warfare has spread to a rival firm outside the family run by Costas Agapitos. Agapitos was recently ambushed and shot six times in the legs, arm and shoulder by Vangelis Ventouris and left in a pool of blood at the wheel of his BMW. This story rivals the plots of Hollywood gangster movies. But it is also the story of the (almost literally) cut throat competition of the capitalist marketplace and deregulation. The Ventouris firm has been squeezed after the deregulation of international shipping routes. As one broker who specialises in the sale of ships says, "It's very simple. In this very visible two tier market very few shipping firms will survive. "The competition is merciless.">> Even if Noble is no longer associated with Ventouris.. the end of this article doesn't give much hope for any small shipping company. Most everyone knows, I only hold warrants. I can only hope the stock holders of this company.. ask a lot of questions before allowing the Noble deal to go through. Debbie
