I'm still of the opinion that something will happen this side of Xmas. However, as I held the same opinion last year, that the mining convention would be forthcoming for Xmas, sadly it was not.
This time around however (and unlike last year), ANS is now paying to keep SDL operating - so either that outlay is for nothing, and is wasted, or else the extension of, (or new) Mining Convention must be closer than it is far.
If it happens, all ANS holders will surely be singing '
Ding Dong, Merrily on High'

(get it?) hehe
