"Maybe you also can take a leaf from your book and make a phone call."

Cloncurry,

A) I haven't got her phone number nor her E-mail address for that matter. Nor have I met her or spoken to her in any other ways than what has been posted in the HC threads. And if I was to organize to have a dinner with her somewhere, I wouldn't be that stupid to post it in here. There is a big difference there.

B) That comment about Jewel, has been made after other comments and discussions about CDU were made.

C) Conix's posts was solely based on the super dinner between the 3 posters namely Roh, James and Conix while, if you were to take out the usual ramping from Conix, there was nothing there to do with CDU itself.

Now, you are also saying:

"Your statement that other tenderes would not know who was competing,,, I say... highly unlikely."

Cloncurry,

We were not talking about tenderers. I know full well that tenderers are well aware of who is going to lodge a tender against them, and who is not going to lodge one. I have lodged dozens and dozens and possibly hundreds of them in my business life and on behalf of others (Some of them friends and some of them clients) and nearly 100% of the time I knew who was going to lodge one against me. That is part and parcel of tendering.
Besides the more the tenderers, the better the price for the company that request the tenders because everyone that is willing, or in need to get that job, will sharpen his pencil to get it.

We were talking about the issue where someone is making a comment about being under budget, when no one knows what the budget amount was in the first place. Can you honestly say that you'd believe me if I was to tell you that I was under budget, and for me to expect you to believe me if you didn't know what my budget entailed and how much it was in the first place??
We are talking about the sharemarket here, and where anything goes my friend.

One of my previous post, is in more details and hopefully will explain it to you better in what I mean.

Cheers
