lacking patience 2yukon--all of us long time dlkmers feel your pain and frustration. i believe a lot of good folks have bailed recently because they've lost faith in mgmt, because it really seems like they could care less because we get little snippets of good things w/ no follow through or any communication whatsoever. i bought my first shares a year ago and have been adding since---the only way to look at it now is that i was allowed extra time to pick up cheap shares. Ihave had many sleepless nights agonizing, but ultimately i believe we,ll be proven right by hanging in there. i still want mgmt to step up their game and let their investors know wth is happening. i miss folks like des who were believers and great contributors, and i think there are more like him who just got tired and decided it was time to move on. anyway, hopefully we hear lots soon and get some new buying blood before we lose too many more .. glta longs--and yukon i alwayslook forward to your posts as well as a few others--yes you too urban!! goldie
