good afternoon Gentlemen: First let me clarify, I have no idea just what Jim V might be up to, and even if I did, it certainly would not be my place to post anything about it, that is his right / obligation in protecting your interests.. You can trust him, I do but mostly because Jim C & Hoov were backing him up.

I met those gentlemen '??' in Hermosillo just to casually get to know each other. We took advantage of a mutual crossing of paths to meet at the Hotel. As is usual, shop talk entered the conversation. Yes, we did discuss Tayopa, among many other things, from Aardvarks to Zylophones / Antimony to Zinc, but, as the Mayan Indians in the jungles of Mexico /Belize, told me " No-one has seen tomorow's Sun". Sabe?

Jim hinted that he had a tremendous amount of work to do for you-all, UC.. Be assured, I believe that you are being represented by a"GUY" with morals and convictions, but NOT a gentleman. He didn't even offer to take us across the street to a wonderful Steak House, snifff. All we got out of driving 400 miles was two itty bitty, lousy cold beer for my wife, but not even a cup of hot coffee for me.

So you see, he wasn't squandering the co. funds. ( The cheapskate) snicker,

Seriously, about the only way that you could be better represented is by dumping him and electing ME as CEO. Sigh but Canadians aren't known for being logical, soo sniff..

p.s. If either Orange flash, or Analogue would grovel enough, I might explain what is behind the "Don Jose de La Mancha" signing,
