It is really unfortunate that what should be an all hands on deck and single minded effort to secure a deal for drilling and exploiting our Gold Assets for the benefit of shareholders appears to have been transformed into a vehicle for indulging in petty, vindictive and time wasting nastiness. It is also unfortunate that Agoracom now appears- and I emphasize- only appears to be collaborating in doing BG's dirty work. I think it is high time for Agoracom to come forward with a statement clarifying its relationship with Liberty Star and its role in these matters. If they are not involved- great. But I think an explanation is warranted. 

But we must keep in mind that what happens here on Agoracom is of little consequence- our discourse here has but little effect on what is happening on and - hopefully one day- in the ground. But it does serve as a small window into the workings of the band of loosers that currently comprise our BOD and management. To that extent- it is of some utility. What really matters are the results produced by this crew. And aside from various diversions- from Robber's Roost to Earp Ridge- they have little to show for themselves. Which is particuarly pathetic when, as VP's very pertinent mining updates illustrate, we are in an exciting and active mining/exploration environment- one with the momentum we have been awaiting for a decade.- Everywhere except at Hay Mountain. Which is both ironic and sad- since- if you believe, as I do, in the riches we have in the ground- we should be leading the way- with a grand discovery. But first- our great businessman leader needs to get us a deal- or get out of JB's way- and get a deal done for drilling at Hay Mountain and for developing our Carlin Style Gold Asset.
