I have been challenged to prove up my bribery allegations, from a couple posts ago,that I made against Core Golds BOD4 and friends. Sure, no problem. The trouble might be that some of my proof is circumstantial : some of what I claim is proof I do so because it best explains things, and there are no other alternative explanations that explain it in any plausible way. My friend Jack told me a story about that. A long time ago, there was a guy called Bill Bennett, whose father was Wacky Bennett. Bill had been Premier of BC for awhile, hence this story was big news. Anyway, there came the day when he sold his entire holding in a BC lumber company, big money I guess, and very soon after, the share price of said company dropped dramatically on company news. So Bill made a bunch of money, because not losing money is as good as making it. Big scandal, in BC anyway, the regulators were all over it, but there was no proof. But they kept at it, and a couple years later he was convicted of insider trading, and the only evidence, besides the timing, was that the CEO , his good friend ,of said company had phoned him minutes before his big dump. That was in the olden days, of land lines, and the phone company kept records of calls, but no content . There was the phone call and nothing else. The judge said there could be no other conclusion possible, but that it was a tip. So that's kind of how some of my proof goes.
Ok, here we go.
Titan Minerals
It will make it simpler if we all agree that Titan is a worthless shell and manipulates the share price and hence the market cap to what it is, when the true market cap should be very much lower. If you disagree, you can read all about Titan from their own statements online , or read past posts on this Stockhouse forum. Jack says I should forget about Titan, I am wasting energy there. So I will do that, but I must tell you the last thing I will every say about them, because this is one of the things that really irks me about them, and that is that with further investigation I figured out that they stiffed the creditors at San Santiago mill for $25 million. I didn't know the amount before. These are workers, small contractors, innocent people who believed the smooth talking Aussies. Disgusting. And all the while Carr and Rowleywere paying themselves nice money. I can't find much about Titan when it was Mundo with the mill in Brazil that went bankrupt, but presumably the locals lost as much. And lots of small shareholders were also stiffed, but it looks like Rowley and that Matysek character were investors who also lost out. My guess is that this attempted steal of Core is Matysek, Carr and Rowley's attempt at making back their earlier loses. When I think of Carr, Rowley, Matysek, others? who would be our new partners in Core/Titan, heaven forbid; my anger level goes off the chart. * Aside: one thing that has always made me happy is that Core Gold under Keith Piggott is paying back: wages, small creditors etc., that Dynasty had fallen behind on. I think that is impressive and says loads about Mr. Piggott's character. It says alot more than the claim by the BOD3 that he lied to them, which given the nature of this BOD3, would actually be a mark in his favour. *
But Jack tells me that this isn't a Titan story. If it wasn't Titan it would be someone else. Core has too much to be ignored. So the thing is we need to get rid of this so called merger, and then we need to get a BOD that are working in Core Gold and shareholders favour. Maybe it doesn't seem possible that this BOD3 would come up with anything similar ,if this is rejected. But I don't think there is any limit to how corrupt they could be, and just for the sake of the smell, we gotta get them gone.
Proof of Bribery, Collusion, General Bad Shxt
1. **Breaking News**
Reading the merger proposal over again, I have come up with a startling conclusion (says alot since this whole thing has been startling since the get go). The proposal states that the minimum $20m A that Titan needs to raise in order for the deal to proceed, will be done by : "Titan will conduct a placement of new shares to ... to raise a minimum of A$20m at an issue price to be agreed by Titan and Core... at the then current market conditions." Since Core is working for Titan, that issue price could be much less than they suggest in the offer, and many more shares could be issued to the providers of that $20m, and instead of them getting 12.6% for the $20 m A ,as suggested in the offer, they could get much much more, and the dilution could be much greater than suggested in the offer. When I , not carefully enough it is obvious now, earlier read over the merger agreement, I assumed that the $20m A would be raised at a Titan share price of .024 as they strongly hinted at, and hence 12.6% of the shares post merger. Not the case kiddies. It can and will take place at any price they decide because Titan totally controls it's own share price. And even if they don't do the dilution with that, Titan commits to raising a further $10m US, post merger, and absolutely no mention of share price is given. That for sure will be whatever they decide, and they will have a shareholder majority, and all the BOD in their pockets ,total control of share price, and thus no opposition and the means, to diluting the living hxll out of you dear shareholders.
And that is how it is with everything Titan has ever said. You really should check out Titan, all the way back to 2006. It really is quite hilarious. You need to spend a little time with it, but you will find that at one time or another they have owned (implied) pretty much everything in Peru. Everything that Titan has said about their past, and now everything that Core is saying about this deal is about trying to make a silk purse from a sows ear. Hyperbole, obfuscation (my new favorite word) , hidden truths, some lies if you check carefully, and truck loads of simple bxllshxt.
But lucky for you folks, you got me, and I wont stop until every bit of it is exposed. My guess right now is that could take a few more years.
So somehow or other, that is my first proof they are in cahoots with Titan. I have spent so much time reading Titan stuff, and Core merger stuff, over and over sometimes, that it is kind of rubbing off. I am starting to think like them, bad thought, but I am seeing that maybe truth isn't truth- maybe it's what I think it is: maybe if you say something enough times and with supposed authority that makes it true, maybe if you use BOLD AND CAPITAL LETTERS THAT MAKES IT TRUE, maybe sneaking stuff that isn't true with stuff that is will make it true, and I could go on forever with this. But let's proceed.
2. Small Detail
The not listing the new ,proposed, company on the TSX. The merger proposal claims that the new company will have a market cap of $151m A. It wont, but that isn't the point. A company that large can certainly afford a TSX listing, especially since half the shareholders, initially, will be from the TSX. In 2014 Titan Minerals, still called Minera at the time, stated that it was investigating listing on the TSX so that it could " access Canadian investors who are better informed about the prospects for mining in South America". No Bxllshxt I found that online. Before they could, they went 'bankrupt', so that idea didn't go anywhere. If the new company has as it's goal share price appreciation they would have a TSX listing. Core has a OTCQX listing in the US, and I saw that lots of even tiny Aussie cos do too. It isn't like the TSX but there is no mention of even keeping this listing. Therefore I, and any reasonable judge or person, would conclude that the new company (proposed) does not have an interest in share price appreciation, and since Core BOD know this , it must be concluded they are acting in collusion with Titan, and the only logical reason they would do that is for personal (ill-gotten) gain. Wouldn't that be bribery?
3. Stopping 'Go Shop' almost immediately
The 'Go Shop" for 60 days was put in, it seems , to secure Mr. Piggotts agreement to initially support the merger. The choice for him ,it seems, was that if he didn't support the agreement he would be fired immediately, for trumped up causes. I assume Mr. Piggott actually believed that if a superior offer presented itself, the BOD4 would be contractually, or whatever, bound to consider it. Now it looks like this point is going to be fought out: was the BOD4 obligated legally to consider the offer (it would seem so), did they (it looks like the answer is no), was the offer superior ( most everyone seems to think so except the BOD4); and then why wouldn't they consider a far superior offer and accept it if proved out - they had 60 days to check it out right.
The explanations given for rejecting the deal are illogical and mostly nonsensical. Like: It was a bad deal because it would have kept Mr. Piggott as CEO. And so on. Actually the best way for you to see the absurdity of the explanation is for me to quote the whole thing. To save space just go and read it. It is on Stockhouse under Quote. After you have read it you will see that this BOD is not only a bit dense , but also obviously doing all they can to keep at bay any superior offer that might come in. And now have taken steps that totally close off any way that a superior offer could be presented. Um, wouldn't a superior offer be good for Core Shareholders? Wouldn't that seem like something for a BOD looking after the interests of the shareholders , to be pretty interested in? Conclusion: the present Core BOD are only interested in seeing the merger with Titan through, superior offers will not be looked at. Therefore they are corrupted and working for Titan. Case closed. Prepare the guillotine.
4. Attacking Keith Piggott
The Future It is now 2025 . And students working on an MBA at most Canadian universities take a history class titled :'The Biggest Stock Market Scams of the past 50 years involving Canadian Cos. ' History 101. The two books they reference are: 'Bre-X The Inside Story' by Diane Francis, and 'The Titan/Core Merger Story - The Board goes Rogue' by Ivanho. One chapter in the later book is devoted to the now infamous 'Core Gold Corrects Self-Serving, False, Misleading, Defamatory and Inaccurate Disclosures Made by its Former CEO'. This response is now considered the most weird, and as it turned out, most damaging to the authors, statement ever made by a BOD. Regulators going over the case following the defeated merger , consider it the 'smoking gun', where the BOD basically admitted their guilt in colluding with the company that was attempting to take over Core. Students read the statement by the Core BOD with great merriment, even after all these years ; people just shake their heads in bewilderment that a BOD would attack their own CEO in such a manner, for the purported crime of bringing a superior offer to their attention, which was expressly allowed by the proposed merger agreement. Many students make the connection, every year, between the response of the BOD and the response that Core Shareholders made on a forum called 'Stockhouse'. After the merger offer was presented to Core Shareholders the response was swift, bewildered, then angered, and even abusive. As well as fearful. The response by the Core BOD to their CEO was similar. It was swift (2 days) ,angry, abusive, illogical, and very fearful. You could feel the panic as they saw the millions they hoped to profit, slipping away from them. Just like Core Gold shareholders felt when the merger was presented, when they quickly figured out all their money was headed for Australia, to be given to Titan. The students are also required to analyze the report in the compulsory English class they take: the one who comes up with the most spelling, grammar, punctuation, and logic mistakes gets free beer that night.
*Aside Since we are here in 2025 perhaps we should look back at what happened back in 2019 to the present. The most important thing was that the Core BOD4 had only managed to gather 43 million Yes votes, but all the independent shareholders , who were very riled up , went to the trouble to vote NO, and the final tally was 87 million votes NO. The result of this resounding defeat for the Core BOD4 were many. For one the regulators seeing the huge push back decided to look further and many months later the four were charged with various securities violations. And the regulators felt the actions of the BOD4 were egregious enough to warrant a criminal investigation as well, which the RCMP did, resulting in the BOD4 being convicted of fraud and sentenced to 2 years. Shortly after their incarceration , Mr. Sedun was given an early release when it was discovered he had a stage 4 brain tumor. Comments were made at that time that perhaps that tumor was present at the time of the merger attempt and was the partial cause of Mr. Sedunsoften erratic and bewildering behavior at the time. Carr was given the Vista Mill for his efforts, which he continues to operate at a small profit, paying the workers nightly ,otherwise they refuse to show up in the morning. Rowley and Matsyek kept Titan for the tax loses it had, which when they sold paid their expenses from the merger try.
And Core. After the merger was voted down, the BOD3 was quickly removed , and replaced by competent people, including to begin with one representative from the company Mr. Piggott had brought a superior offer from : Co X. Co X , did the drilling it wanted to check on, and when all was fine, paid Newcore ( the name was changed to try rid itself of some of the smell that lingered from the old Core BOD3) the $20 m promised. Core quickly ramped up production to 150,000 oz /yr at Portovelo, and started drilling Copper Duke. In the meantime drilling and an PEA proved DGF to warrant a new mine which Co X brought into production in late 2022. With all the copper discovered at CD, Co X entered into a partnership with Newcore and construction on a mine and mill started in early 2023. When the mine opens the middle of next year it will be the 6th largest in the world. When gold hit $3300 in 2023, and with copper almost $20/lb, Newcore is now a multi billion dollar company. When it listed on the Shanghai Composite the share price took off. All the things the Core BOD3 tried to convince the Core shareholders of about Australia were actually true in China. Newcore presently pays a 50 cent annual dividend per share, but this is set to rise substantially when the copper mine opens, and Core gets 40% of the profits.
At the annual shareholders meeting in Vancouver, a picnic is now held in conjunction at Stanley Park. Both the meeting and picnic are well attended by shareholders from across the country. At the picnic Mr. Piggott is greeted with much respect, gratitude and affection. Representatives from Co X also attend and everyone is getting to know them better, and friendships are forming. The food for the picnic , by popular request, is always wonderfully prepared Chinese food, which seems appropriate.
Mr. Piggott has decided to retire sometime next year ,after the new copper mill is operational. He will be greatly missed. Rumour has it that ceremonies are planned by the communities around Portovelo and DGF which have benefited greatly from Cores' presence. Core has also built large solar farms and put up many windmills so its' operations are totally carbon free. In fact most days it puts significant power into the Ecuadorian power grid at no cost to the grid as a good will thing. *
5. Statements from Sedun
I have included this because it is so entertaining. Maybe what Sedun is saying is just the rantings of a demented whatever you want to call him. Maybe doesn't prove anything beyond that. But you gotta let me have a little fun within all this hard work I am doing.
The best and almost only reason Sedun has come up with in his pumping for this Titan offer is that it is Australian. Really, check out what he has said. The rest is just him saying that Core has great properties, and could use some money. And in his opinion only the Aussies have any of that. And the second reason given is that existing (us) Core Shareholders will have shares that would then be worth 47 cents equivalent. Is that a promise Greg. If it is why aren't you, or others, buying the shxt out of Core right now. 25 cents to 47 cents in a couple months with your personal guarantee? Looks like people know about your personal guarantees. Somewhere he , or perhaps it was a company statement, said that Titan was a historically experienced, highly qualified, competent, walk on water, kind of company. Hmmm. For the past 5 years Titan hasn't actually been doing anything mining wise ( well, they did operate a 30 tpdleased toll mill for a couple months in 2018 after they 'took over' Andina, but even that couldn't make any money : just to be totally factually correct,): zilch, nada; and before 2014 when they shut it all down, they were perpetually lurching towards bankruptcy , unable to operate even a simple toll mill that someone else had built ,first in Brazil and then Peru, to never make a yearly profit from 2006 to 2014 when they , wisely I would say, stopped trying. And in these last 5 years their chief man, Carr , was an artisinal miner, delivering 30 tpd to a toll mill that he rented. And the guy who they say will be so great running the new company ,Marsland, is being sued by his former company Dundee, who fired him, well, they didn't say fired, but restructured him out of the company. One of the pros for the deal was also that Titan has "Proven management and operational teams with significant experience in Latin America" So maybe that's not untrue. They didn't say the management was competent (it wasn't) so they just need to add proven to be the worst managers ever to walk the dusty plains of Peru , and they have had significant experience ( they are very experienced at running things into the ground). And then the most hilarious reason is because the ASX doesn't have a sector as "dominating as cannabis is in Canada" . I swear I didn't make that last one up , you see the " , direct quotation. So I am just going to call all this a lie. It is more than falsehoods, exaggeration, or obfuscation. They are all lies folks. And my final proof that Core BOD4 is working in collusion with Titan to steal Core. *A final little tidbit: On one of Cores' 'Why you should vote Yes' things they said : "Titan is a newly listed co (March 2017) " . Really! Actually Titan first listed under the name Mundo back in 2006. I can see why they might want us to forget about Mundo and then Minera, but than their claim that Titan has a long history of activity in mining in South America is all based on Mundo and Minera. Titan restored it's listing (not newly listed) on the ASX in November 2017, actually, not March, by paying all the back listing fees that they were in arrears for. Looks like they don't even know the simplest things about Titan, or whoever is writing their stuff is a fool, or most probably : both. And if you want to know about all the somewhat amazing, for sure, 'experiences' Titan had as Mundo and Minera,check it out, interesting stuff, available on line or in past posts. *
I trust my Proof of BRIBERY, CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY, AND HILARIOUS DOING$ is convincing. And now complete.
I would like to now make some suggestions and comments to some individuals
Leonard Clough
When I first started to look at this merger deal, I wanted to know how all the principals would be rewarded: 'follow the money' so to speak. And I suggested then that your reward for supporting the deal would be a (probably not that big) suitcase full of 100s. You probably laughed and wished that were true. People have always wondered why you were on the board of Core, and what I think is that they needed 5 people, Mr. Piggott didn't want an activist board member to maintain as much control for himself as possible,and Sedun probably recommended you (maybe you attend the same church) as someone who wouldn't cause trouble. So you just went to a couple meetings every year, collected your 25 grand, and let them do what they will. Some have also questioned your loyalty to Core, because you never bought any Core shares, but that was just smart investing, nobody has ever made any money from buying Core shares. And why would you have any loyalty to Core?
So now I suspect you just said sure to the merger deal, perhaps without even looking at it much, trusting that Sedun had it all figured out, and everyone else seemed to be behind it, and you owed Sedun one. No suitcase, and after the Yes vote that Sedun promised, your association with the new company would end, but it was an easy paycheck for a few years.
But now I would say that Sedun's bumblings : like not having Mr. Piggott locked up and then the very messy firing; making a very poor case to the shareholders as to the merits of the merger; the fact that he came up with a totally ridiculous merger for Core shareholders, thinking he could pass it off as good; doing things that show he (and the BOD of Core by extension) are pretty clearly in collusion with Titan and possibly in violation of securities regulation; lying, obfuscation, bad logic, not to mention bad English, in all his writings:well , maybe that changes things for you. Now the shareholders are very angry, this isn't going to go down easy, this might not have a happy ending; and if there is no suitcase, what's in in for you?
So I see two possible outcomes, the first is that Yes will prevail. And I hope by now you have read some of the posts here, and read the deal better, and see that if Yes wins the shareholders will lose very big time. The very best case is they lose half, the worst is almost all. And when people lose money, and they know someone has caused that loss, they get very angry at that person (s). And here that would be BOD3. So even though your role here has been very small, and you will not be involved with the new company, you will still be a target.
The second outcome is a NO vote win. And perhaps then the anger will dissipate and all will be well. And that will happen as long as the BOD3 gets out of the way. It could be like in the Sudan now, where the people (Core shareholders) have ousted the Big Bad Man -Bashir (killed the Titan deal) , but then the army (Core BOD3) tries to take or keep power and the people (Core Shareholders again) , will not have it, and having won the first battle feel empowered and even more inspired to fight and do what it takes. And the army in Sudan ,hopefully, is smart enough to know you can't fight the people and have a good outcome (and lets hope Core BOD3 is as smart). If Core BOD3 tries to stay and control things , I could see some big problems arising.
So for you, Mr. Clough, the logical thing would be to resign right now. Remove any culpability for securities irregularities (small as the risk might be) , avoid any retribution in the case of a Yes vote, avoid the struggles that are sure to follow a NO vote if you don't quickly resign then, and save your reputation (if it is of any import to you). And a big difference with the Sudan, is that there the army has guns.
For me , I would value sleeping well at night over any loyalty you might have to continue supporting this deal. If there is no payoff to you, and the most you might get is a case of old and expensive whiskey sometime down the road from Sedun : if all goes well and an ill wind doesn't befall him. And sure Sedun will be the number one target for shareholders wrath, but how will you feel if a shareholder takes out his frustration on Sedun, like a cream pie in the face for example. If I were you, I would be worried that I might be next in line, and that it might not be a coconut cream, which is my favorite.
Javier Reyes
Javier, Javier, what are you doing here? You invested heavily into Core Gold awhile back because you saw the potential and wanted to get in early, and now you find yourself in the middle of this bad business. You control 23,419,407 shares it seems, and your vote is crucial for the Yes to win (No has a chance to win without you, because they only need 1/3 of the votes, but Yes can't win without you). I have always tried to give you a pass, hoping that you found yourself here but didn't really want to be here - the here being in league with the likes of Carr, Rowley, Matysek,Sedun and god knows who else. I have always hoped that you would switch sides as Mr. Piggott has done. If you did that Yes would lose. But you haven't and now I wonder if you will.
Now I know the deal you have been offered isn't the deal I, and other small guys, have been offered. We have been offered a 50% chop immediately, and then probably a cut to almost nothing, to follow. So you know about that deal, and would obviously not vote to let that happen with your holding, because you are one of those shareholders as well, except with the votes to be deal maker. At the moment you have about 15% of the out shares of Core; in other words 15% interest in Core assets. After the deal, if you were in the same boat as 'us' you will have a 7.5% interest in Cores' assets (we all know Titan adds nothing). Unless your mantra is something like : 'Buy high-sell low', which at times has been suggested for me; you would not agree to this. And you have the ability (shares) to stop this happening. But since you don't seem to be, it is obvious you have a different deal happening. And that deal would need to guarantee that you will maintain a 15% interest in Core Assets which the new company will now hold, so not the 7.5% you will legally have post merger but an under handed increase back to 15%, and a promise it wouldn't be diluted much subsequently. And that wouldn't be hard for them to promise: you would just be given enough of all those new shares that will be issued post merger. I am not as sure how you can hold them to the promise, and why you would trust them, but maybe there is some honour among thieves.
And you know of course that the deal you have made is highly unethical (you have a fiduciary duty to look after the interest of Core shareholders as a director for which you were paid ); immoral (stealing from ordinary folks (me) is not nice); possibly illegal ( Canadian regulators might look into this deal. I don't know what Mr. Piggott can or will bring to them etc., and know none of the details there ,but there is clearly wrong doing happening. Maybe the odds of anything coming of it is very low, but a NO vote would increase the odds they would check . So what kind of odds are you willing to live with. And knowing that if you are on the wrong side of this it would have major repercussions on your career, life, fortune, etc. And also knowing that Sedun is the main man that will argue the Core BOD case -and he doesn't look to be the brightest star in the sky, sharpest knife in the drawer ,etc.. If you think it is 5% you would be a fool to not get yourself clear while you still can. 1%? That would be ok? Maybe a 1% chance of ruining your life, you can live with? ) ; and finally quite possibly not even in your own, your families, or banks interest ( Ok ,you have a deal that keeps you whole, but then the Titan boys take over. Who would you trust more to lead an orderly, competent , honest building of Core? Mr. Piggott as CEO, a good BOD with you still a member of; or this Marsland character as CEO who knows nothing about Ecuador and Core, and has a reputation of past bad dealing. And a BOD filled with the likes of Rowley, Sedun, Carr, Matysek, Bailey: double dealing , back stabbing, crooked reprehensible individuals all. You want your name up there with the likes of them? If you don't have a problem with that then you will probably get what you deserve. A mans' reputation is everything, as a banker even more so, and you will give up yours this cheaply? These old white men, will all be dead soon enough, perhaps not soon enough for some, but you have lots of career left. Be careful with it. Look at the offer that Mr. Piggott brought in ,Co X. Now sure maybe it wouldn't happen. Maybe Dynasty cheated on the holes it drilled at DGF in 2014 and results can't be confirmed by twin drilling. But that seems unlikely. With that deal you would know exactly where your holding of Core would stand: looks like your % of the company would drop to about 12.5% of Core, but then Core would have $ 20 million C, all of it for Core (none skimmed off by Carr and friends or for the Vista mill) ; and if DGF proves out then the Co X would give Core another $20 m C and fund the new mine and mill for 60% of the mine and the mill;
Core would stay the same with all its' other properties intact and % ownerships of Core the same. No more money from you needed , unless maybe Copper Duke is the next big Copper Mine, and you want to help fund that. And how is Titan going to fund DGF if a new mine is a good idea? How many new shares will be issued? Where will your % go to? And if the Co X deal doesn't happen there are lots of other options to JV with someone , sell some properties, raise some money , etc. I just thought of a good mantra for Rowley, Sedun, Carr, Matysek: 'Big money in (others mostly) , Small money out (just whatever we can skim)'. That certainly is their history.
Mark Bailey
Final rant: Mark Bailey - Dynasty and now Core Board of Director, has been a director for lots of years, and I have no idea why, it doesn't appear he has ever done anything, and now he suddenly thinks he can be a CEO. Heaven help us. I bet he would have trouble finding Ecuador on a map. Doesn't appear he has ever taken more than a passing interest in Dynasty or Core. But every year he collected his nice ,not that little , pay cheque. And that cheque was to secure the contract that he would look after our best interests. And it was paid for by the shareholders of Dynasty , and now Core , year after year. Probably in the low 6 digits, payment wise total , by now. Not enough to buy a house in Vancouver, but enough for a good down payment on one. Out of your pocket, Mr. and Mrs. Shareholder. Anyway, ditto Sedun , ditto Clough.
Conclusion
I really wish I could get a rise from these Bxstards. I got my baseball bat ready! Seriously though, I would love a 'CORE GOLD DENOUNCES STOCKHOUSE POSTER FOR MAKING SOME NOT VERY NICE COMMENTS AND FOR TELLING SOME FIBS AND BEING SO DARN SELFISH' . I would even help with it. My sins go much deeper than a few lies, self interest, etc. I could even come up with some steamy videos , with me in them, that could be quite damning.
This is a very very strange situation to be in folks. To be attacking the BOD of my own company, with all the imagination, vitriolic, and venomous hatred (sometimes even facts) I can muster. It is not suppose to be this way folks. Sure maybe at times shareholders might have a friendly disagreement with their BOD on what constitutes the best way forward, but to wake in the middle of the nite from a dream where I am , well, this is a family forum, best that is left unsaid.
Maybe I need to calm down. Jack keeps telling me to. Just vote the deal NO, and then vote the bxsturds out, and try and forget their names. Restore your inner peace, Jack tells me.
Ok, time for me to go meditate a little. Perhaps some yoga.
