what's going on?worse than watching paint dry, page-16

Perhaps Richard got the boot because he gave people the impression that the project would get off the ground with joint venture partners.

Unfortunately it never came to pass.

I wish it had, believe me I do.

But the company can't just sit with it's hands on it's knees and do nothing.

They know that the deposit is still there and in the meantime they are trying to uncover what else they may have.
I cannot see a problem with that.

I met Richard on numerous occassions at presentations.
Seemed like a nice enough fellow.
At the end of the day he wasn't able to deliver what he had set out to do.

That's life unfortunately.

You don't any ajdm, so I can't quite understand your anger toward the company.
