Lionel,

I will resist getting into the "mine is bigger than yours" debate or the "my mates are more important than yours" suffice to say I have noticed over a period of time you try to give credibility to your utterances by referring to your direct phone line to the CEOs office.

I must say, I find that overt big noting a bit off-putting. CEOs of Junior Miners would talk to a pet parrot if they thought they could raise some capital from it.
