Bob S. You make Tim Hall sound like Joan of Arc. Give me a break. Tim posts a clearly biased article about past events and selectively posts only the worst parts of the article most damaging to Naxos. This takes courage? Why is reminding us of the damage that Jimmy and crew did to the company help us now and why is it important to remind us of where Naxos came from...AGAIN? Tim has an agenda. He is not commenting on current events, not enlightening us about Mr. Gardner, Bromine leach, Martin Blake or the most recent test results. He IS refreshing peoples minds about just how bad things have been. That's "have been" as in, the past. There is no scenario that can erase all of the past events and I personally wish we could erase the last 8 years of the serpentine course Naxos has taken. But Bob is doing the only thing he can do at this point. Take up the reigns with honesty and integrity with a genuine interest in finally proving to shareholders, in the most definitive way possible (recovered metal) just whether or not FL has anything worth extracting. I trust that Bob and his team will tell us TRUTHFULLY if the pilot plant works or not. But not one day before he and the team feel that they have tried their best. Bob has made it clear. This is it. He has put his chip on the table with Martin and the rest of team with this specific method of recovery. He doesn't have another ace up the sleeve. Bob has not hyped any results, and if fact, has downplayed the released results to date reminding us that recovery in volume is the only thing that counts. So in this environment, why does it take "courage" to post an article which fans the flames of doubt by rehashing what we already know about the past? Bob, your loyalty to a friend is admirable, but in this case it is not well placed. Tim is not being helpful to finding the final answer about FL. Tom F.
