Good points but concerns remain (even if 'posting' is proven false). A posting like this can cause damage if Investor Relations are relegated to the bottom of the barrel. None of us should be open to doubt the Management of a publically traded small cap. Play the same game without changing for three years and the opposition can hammer at will with some degree of credibility. Gentlemen/ladies of Management - please take heed - lack of leadership can prove fatal when things are 'happening'. In any case, the Forum has livened with good debate and it's long overdue (as guilty as most in this regard). R.W.

Ken, aka. L.D., and R.W., good points. I hear what you're saying R.W., about shareholders sometimes feeling like they're in the dark about what's really going on. At the same time, this is not the time to let our squabbles with management allow us to play into the hands of whoever posted 3002. Think about it. Whoever posted that is intent on driving down the value of Sungold shares, and reducing the credibility of Sungold management. Their intentions will only be served if we let that post have the effect that they wanted. Our interests as shareholders will be best served if we choose to disregard the poster of 3002. The poster of 3002 could be AMF or any of his buddies. The poster (GLB) could be a representative of a rival development/operating company that wants to make a deal with the Band. The only thing we know for certain is that 3002's interests run entirely against the interests of shareholders. We can fight 3002 by not responding in the way he/she/they want us to. You can be certain that at this very minute, Kim, and Don, and Tim, and Bob Stocker, are preparing the company's response. There is no question that Sungold has a contract with the Band. If 3002 is what it seems to be, why, as Ken asked, would they bother to post to SI on a Friday night? GLB could be trying to reduce its obligations to Sungold by running down the company. In other words, regardless of GLB's identity or credibility, the shareholders' interests will be best served by supporting the company. We can rest assured that the company has a valid contract and that management will fight tooth and nail to protect shareholders' interests. The least we can do is do the same. What option is there? Do you want to give guys like AMF the pleasure of watching us cooperate with their sleazy tactics? Buck up guys. Kim, for all his failings, is a scrapper. He's not going down the porcelain highway, as R.W. would say. Sungold has serious money and management expertise behind it. TAC (Don Harris) remains 100% committed to Sungold and is ready to put down $36 million (Cndn) on Richmond Downs (which is very close to happening). Tim Gladieux is about to come on board as a director and he has huge money and skills to put behind Michigan. I am sure that the company would issue a response tonight, but it will have to wait until Monday. In the meantime, we can help by seeing 3002 for what it is - an underhanded and desperate attempt to gain financial advantage by creating doubt and fear among shareholders.

Ken Good post Ken. My thoughts for what it's worth. 1. If GLB was negotiating with Sungold, why post legal matters to shareholders? What purpose other than to frighten shareholders? The reason to scare shareholders could be in part because of their weak legal position. Therefore they are relying on SI to manipulate shareholders to achieve their goal. Let us be prudent in how we react to post 3002. Their action is equivalent to a union and a company signing an agreement. One side rethinks their position and then goes to the MEDIA, making the other side looks so SINISTER that the agreement is renegotiated to avoid bad publicity. (poor negotiating ploy) 2. If the Michigan casino is just around the corner, it sure makes me wonder. Could someone be trying to shake out some cheap shares ie .10 - .50 cents? 3. <<<I have spoken twice to the company, and they were not aware of this situation at all.>>> 3002 posts and the shorts (AMF) are making like it's factual? Hhmmmm. They are usually asking the questions. It doesn't seem like it this time and it doesn't make sense. 4. Too many unanswered questions. I'll wait until management has a chance at bat.
