Ann: Hickory-1 Surface Hole Completed, page-79

2 things stressed and angered me Bill, not panicking

1. I was relentlessly attacked by you every day since I first said BOP is delayed/issues and should have been completed last Friday. Market knew something was up imo. SP volumes and prices slide south. You couldn’t even entertain that I might be right, not interested at all. Company said 2 weeks and you blindly followed and attacked hourly. Such as uneducated response. I called it and put my reputation on the line. Made the big calls. You just attacked. Not a smart investing approach Bill.

I take extreme dislike to my integrity/character being attacked especially by company supporting nobodies who don’t know what they are talking about. Now I was right, contact the company but you won’t, but you just still continue, seriously stop.

2. Obvious that the company was being delayed/issues to me and others. I wanted to know and didn’t want our time frames possibly being pushed especially if encounter bigger issues. Didn’t want a repeat a couple of wells ago with Merlin 1 big issues and forced to leave before completing the job.

Company still hasn’t acknowledged publicly in this RNS that they did experience minor issues which caused drilling delays. This angers me big time. DW would have mentioned this. Thats why I want changes. We get fed the bare minimum imo and parts not told to holders. Not good enough and I will hold the company to account along with minimum communications, if I can make over to the AGM. I am on the record Bill so why would I be lying. I am not. I was right all along.

So as for wanting changes that’s no secret and I have wanted this for past couple of drills, so be fair Bill. I am not impressed with companies approach of not making updates like DW previously did, so I have serious issues with 88 since their last well where communication’s was lacking and now seems to be continuing with this well imo. That’s why I want changes plus their terrible past record imo. I do have a lot of support for change by large holders already. Again on the record Bill.

Bottom line is I invest and expect open transparency, with great reporting, yes I invested a heap, lucky to have invested well over the years and to be able to. I am well diversified and hold large positions in multiple stocks along with property. So you are totally wrong about the money factor causing my stress, again not panic.

Now can we finally move on Bill and focus on this drill please. So over all this. You don’t have to agree or believe or even like me. I don’t care, just stop trashing my character.

Now going back into silence. No more from me. I have proved my character, integrity and that’s all that matters to me. I know you will miss my drilling comments Bill going off the many likes you have given me over all these past wells, lol, especially as we are entering the $$$ part of this drill and my track record has been better than most here. Bye!!!

Oh I will be watching your ability to see if you can stop attacking posters for once and see if you have the technical ability and knowledge to call this result before our knowledgeable few or company assist you, Really looking forward to reading your technical insights before TD. Good luck, hope you call this right, over and out. BIG SIGH, really long week!!!!

I might help you out Bill if I see you are going down the wrong path ok. Got your back mate. Night.
