halifax of bust? down the memory lane., page-9

Baxter, if your not on the wrong forum, then, I'm sorry but I think that we have a case of mistaken identity if you are directing your posts to me.
I'm pretty sure that most on this forum don't think I am an ICN knocker and many seem to think that I go too far in the opposite direction.
When you talk of R.J., don't forget that he was the one who got the 855 permit in the first place and "Reggie" only got 20% by stealing it off ADE and now has to spend $16.2 million to get the other 40%.
R.J. is no dummy, just, punching holes in the inferior places, but, I think all ICN SHs will be singing his praises at the final siren and that's what counts. My views on that 40% of 855 is also very clearly stated on very recent posts. I think R.J. has had very high hopes on 855 MUCH longer than Reg and luckily for both lots of SHs, they are working together to get a huge result.
And if those that attended the Beach AGM were in stunned silence when Reg Nelson mentioned that word HUGE, well, they hadn't been listening or reading the times that he said that word before the AGM and R.J. has always thought that.
Reg had better have been dead serious when he said HUGE at the AGM as he had already used that very word in an official ann to the ASX.

And there is absolutely NO comparison between ICN's other results and 218 and 855 and I for one have NEVER said there was as you have inferred. I suggest you read more than one of my posts to see where I have ALWAYS been coming from.
The post that you refered to is still my view on how both managements will be judged when 218 and 855 plays out. We all know what is expected, even publicly stated by both Reg Nelson and R.J. and they will be judged very harshly if their SHs don't get what is seen to be the best deal given that they both hold the huge whip handle in any negotiations.
