Mostly fair enough, Fisho, however there seems to be a suggestion that Alan Shortall is not working hard, has not done so in the past and will not continue to do so in the future. Everything is relative.

As for things being handed out on a platter, it is worth correcting a previous post in so far as the shares and options issued in 2006 were part of a rights issue led by the CEO, who put in $1 million of his own money at a stage in the company's evolution where, had he not done so, things may well have gone pear-shaped. I believe that is called leading by example.

If research is indeed best, could we please make sure it is accurate and truthful.
