CL, it's oh-so-easy to bitch, moan and criticize from our armchairs, but what errors would we have committed in those same shoes? I, too have puzzlements and complaints, e.g., I'd like to have seen much more explanation of the thinking and significance behind today's press release. It leaves me with several questions that could have been anticipated and answered in a more comprehensive statement. But, this is still the company founded by DJ, who has spent the better part of twenty years struggling to make this thing successful. Without him, you would have had zero potential - now we have a great deal of it. I agree that handling stockholders, employees and regulatory groups might have enjoyed a bit more polish. I do not know the extent to which threadbare budgets at Global are related to that, but I suspect quite a bit. I do know that Mr. Jensen and several other officers have not drawn salary for a number of moons - how many I know not. I ask only this - when your investment captures twenty or thirty bags to your initial one, how strident will be your language, how caustic your criticism? Will you then really give a *&^#@ ? regards, Scott

"McKay read Jensen the riot act ... appeared in his present incarnation" C. Lawrence Perkins, of todays, your post said it best, and to me the above words from your post is worth a 1,000 pictures. If the following can be taken as being accurate and true: - gpgi has very good dirt for precious metals extraction - gpgi has a large quanity of such good dirt - gpgi has the onion peeling and nut cracking to a fine tuning stage - gpgi news releases of today and recent are correct and accurate If so, and Mike McKay is an honest man and not doing a pump/dump, then to me Mike has "drawned blood" from J&T. Mike, like a predator, has the teeth of his powerful jaws around the throat of J&T, and J&T will cease to fight, but to relax and be limp and hope that Mike will only hold the throat and not break it. Mike is letting just enough air to pass for J&T to exist, but only as long that Mike can call the shots and see progress for gpgi. J&T drew first blood of shareholders thru their mistakes, but their continuing mistakes allowed Mike to bit back, and now Mike tasted blood and "likes" it, and Mike has them frozen with fear, so Ed's worry need not be, as Mike will soon be the "man" seened by investors, as J&T no longer a factor in gpgi's future, and in my opinion, the J&T Cat issue has a Mike's hand over it. Just so Mike remains a shareholder, all will be well. If Mike pulls out, then its J&T replay and reruns time. Would be good, in my opinion, to make it worth Mike's interest to stay longer than shorter, time wise. Keep Mike in charge, make Mike a Director, make Mike CEO, give Mike shares he can only sell in 5 years ??? <<< Because of the continued success with our process, ...time to tell Global's story to the investing public ...so that they will see the company's potential.
