Hi NTW, respectfully I say that we are in straitened times - people don't want to borrow money and sales of any commodity you may care to mention are down. I wish that COG would knuckle down and make use of what it has before it sets off on its next venture. The COG and Thorn announcements today had totally different aspects - COG saying that they have some things to iron out and Thorn curtly saying they hadn't made any decision to sell.

COG can have some discipline and earn respect or go for bulk and its a lottery
