all paths lead to confrontation with santos, page-7

db76,

Are you seriously suggesting a capital constrained STO took a $500m gamble on ESG? What other punts were they considering at the time? A little flutter on the Melbourne Cup with shareholders funds perhaps.

So, following your own logic, you agree that ESG is a likely takeover target outside of STO, yet you disagree ...well, with yourself (going by your recent statements). Just like your writing style which seems to change from post to post, so does your view on ESG. Perhaps the 'alternate(s)' DB76s should consider reading previous posts before they logon for their shift?
