FLC is one of the major drillers - there's no reason why it shouldn't receive a fair amount of the attention on the SD board.
Slider, if I am not mistaken, has received another temporary posting ban from SI.
Can someone tell me what's going on with PTEN?
Have they declared bankruptcy or something? It looks like they'll soon have to pay you to take their shares.

OT:
I also think Slider should return but I do think he has to realize that when he get's off topic and starts to spew slanderous, offensive material that it's unacceptable to most people. We are all in this SI electronic community and we should watch what we say when we get off topic.

IMO, this has nothing to do with 1st amendment rights, it has to do with common decency and crossing the imaginary line that Silicon Investor subscribers agree not to cross.

Some may find his latest post funny but I would guess many found it offensive, as I did. A couple of days in SI jail shouldn't be a big deal to anyone. It's happened to SOTB before. It's not a new issue.

JMO,
Michael

I don't think that members should be banned because of any words
they may say. Freedom of speech should be broad. If you
don't like what Slider has to say, you can ignore his posts.
People have become too damn sensitive.

Now they're banning Slider- later it could be you or me.
