Tell me a board to look at and I'll see if I see them from the message list.
Cintrix, I see the commands for it, but don't actually see the different colors and sizes...I don't know why they don't show up on my screen, though. Maybe it's a setting that you can change so you don't have to see them either?
Yes, extractor, but don't you see, it can also be taken to just the opposite...Maybe SEO is a shrewd enough business man that he knew he (SEO) didn't give a darn about shareholders (thus no real increase in pps) and so what difference did it make if he parted with more shares? It was an easy bonus that wasn't going to cost him very much.
So, while it is "fact" that he was bonused this way, the point still stands that no-one KNOWS what SEO's intentions were or are. Again, everyone may have their own theory, but, imo, that's all it is...opinion.
Walldog, I have to ask, why you are so supportive of SEO? I've been reading current articles and researching past information. And, your posts, make me think that I've missed something in my research. Can you direct me to anything you've found particulary insightful re: SEO?
Or do you live in Nigeria? Or are you Nigerian?
Thanks.
Gump, it's great to see you here. Your experience and knowledge about Canadian mining will be a great benefit to those of us holding this stock. Thanks for sharing your insights with the rest of us.
What could they do, Art? I'm pretty sure that common have no rights to do anything in re: to ERHE (like most OTCBB companies). So, I can't figure out what you're asking?
I can't go along with the theory that a group of shareholders is holding down the price to have a better chance for a successful hostile takeover. The pps is what it is because of the events of the last 8 months.
If WB is involved with a group with these intentions, why the sudden theory that this plan was hatched prior to his departure? And, why is it assumed to be a "bad" thing?
Maybe he realized that SEO had no intention of treating shareholders fairly? Maybe he saw the potential of ERHC and realized SEO wasn't ever going to allow the shareholder's to benefit from the oil? Maybe, maybe, maybe...
The fact is that we have no idea what's transpired between the two men. And, while we can each come up with our own theory, the truth most likely lies somewhere in the middle of all these extreme ideas.

Oil men flee Nigeria’s danger zone
Oil companies are pulling staff out of Nigeria's delta region in the face of increasing kidnaps and attacks by militants.
While the oil giants are reluctant to admit they are evacuating personnel, a logistics expert in Lagos told The First Post that many companies have deferred projects until after next year's presidential election. "Let's put it this way, expats sent down to Port Harcourt risk their insurance premiums going up," he said.
Analysts believe up to 20 per cent of Nigeria's oil production is shutting down - a loss of 500,000 barrels a day. Last month Willbros, which provides construction and engineering services to the oil sector, said it would quit Nigeria.
"The government is not showing the political will to deal with the militants," said one oil company executive. He said Shell had shut down its Western Division in Warri, which accounts for 30 per cent of its output in Nigeria. But he stressed that Shell was investing in offshore platforms, which are far less accessible to militants.
The oil companies can't afford to pull out for long. Despite the attacks, Nigeria is still a better long-term prospect than the Middle East. Analysts believe by 2015, a quarter of US oil imports will come from West Africa, surpassing imports from the entire Persian Gulf. Nor can Nigeria afford to let the oil giants go: oil accounts for about 95 per cent of its export earnings.
President Olusegun Obasanjo reaches the end of his term next year, and oil companies hope a new administration will improve security by increasing the indigenous population's access to jobs, healthcare and housing.

OT: Nigeria to revoke Shell's Ogoniland oil license
Update: 6:09 AM ET Sep 22, 2006
AMSTERDAM (MarketWatch) -- The Nigerian government will revoke Royal Dutch Shell PLC's (RDSB.LN) oil license in Ogoniland, although the timing hasn't been officially set, a Nigerian oil official said Friday.
"We are going to revoke Shell's license to operate in Ogoniland," said Bamibele Ogedenjbe, an assistant director at the Nigeria Department of Petroleum Resources, which oversees the permitting of the country's hydrocarbon licenses.
"It's going to happen," Ogedenjbe added, although she didn't know the precise timeframe.
Shell has one license consisting of seven to eight oil fields in Ogoni, but it hasn't operated in the area since 1993.
Shell declined to immediately comment on the matter.
Ogedenjbe said Nigeria, Africa's biggest oil producer, is currently producing between 2.3-2.4 million barrels a day and has about 700,000 b/d out of service.
These figures contrast with other Nigerian officials, who have said recently the West African nation has up to 872,000 b/d shut in, mostly due to a series of militant attacks on pipelines and oil export terminals this year.
Nigerian oil minister Edmund Daukoru said last week that Nigeria has 872,000 b/d shut, while the country's finance minister said the country has 600,000 b/d out of service.
Shell stopped operating in Ogoni in 1993 after the company was hit by a storm of protests by locals over its operations in the area, in the Western Niger Delta. Most of Nigeria's oil is produced in the delta.
Ogoniland made international headlines in 1995, when writer Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other activists from his Ogoni tribe were executed under the brutal regime of then dictator Gen. Sani Abacha.
They were hanged for the murder of four political rivals, but Saro-Wiwa's supporters say he was targeted because he led environmental protests against Shell, the biggest international oil company operating in the country.

Dane, I'm with you on this one.
While he may have info others aren't privy to and he may be correct in his statements, I believe, he made a mistake in this instance and very clevely tried to cover it up.
I don't know if his information is factual or if he's just stringing the board along. But, I'm starting to lean towards "playing games" as I can't fathom what a railroad guy who died 10 months ago could have to do with this stock.
But, as I've proven just this morning, WDIK?

Alright, I've been proven wrong. Sorry, all.
I was trying to use the time stamp from Ihub and since those two weren't "stamping" in tandem, I ASSumed it couldn't be done.
Anyone have a link to that crow pie? :)
I edited my last post and asked what did you "sync" with?
Did you use edit? Edit: And, if not, what did you "sync" with?
Well, with your permission...
Instruct states that the timing with the scriptures listed prove that he was able to do it. I do think this is a good point and will concede he may have able to time it correctly. But, I think it was more likely done with the edit feature.
That's it for me on this one.
10:12:13
Edit: Instruct, ok, I see your point a little better but I still think it can only be done with the edit feature. I've asked Bob Z. the admin in charge of "technicals" here, so hopefully we'll have a definitive answer at some point. Unfortunately, by the time he gets to it, it will probably be long after we've all forgotten this debate.
I'm still confused...I'll pm so we don't waste anymore board time with this.
I have no idea what happened on this initial post (if it was a fluke or it was edited) but do believe the subsequent posts were edited.
I simply don't believe it's possible to time it exactly.
Maybe I'm confused about what we're talking about.
This is how I can post the exact time of the post.
Edit: 9:33:18
Withuall - the whole thing seems strange to me. Whatever the connection (if there even is one) is too obscure for me to fathom. Bwdik?
I would've thought he was older.
His birth date is April 10, 1964.
LOL! - The real story...
"He explained that, at the challenge, the two "mouthed the words 'I love you' to each other, so that was my prize, and my prize was her." Alas, the exact conversation wasn't quite like that. "I feel really bad for you guys," Candice told Billy's entire tribe after their loss. He told her, "I'm next." She said, "We love you," and then he replied, "I love you."
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14590972/
BB, the relevance is that if he used the edit feature then he wasn't REALLY able to post to the second.
"He clearly showed the board that he can (by doing) post to the second. Exactly to the second. This is fact as the post is there for all to see.
Brez and Crazy did it, too...they used the edit feature. Can you say for certain that Oliphant didn't also?
This same discussion was had yesterday morning but was deleted as being off topic. I tried doing it using Ihub's own time stamp by opening another window. The two are not synchronized so, imo, it can't be done except through luck.
Excel, I've always "heard" they didn't list client names in these releases unless they had permission from the clients to do so. And, that many of their clients do not wish to have their name in this type of release to maintain their competitive advantage. :)
What I find so interesting about this stock is the volume and pps increase prior to releases. I specifically searched for info today because of the activity and...lo and behold a pr. I know this happens with many companies but the "frontloading" is pretty blatant with this one, imo.

Well, if he died 10 months ago, what could he possibly have to do with ERHE now?!?!?!

Condor, there was a list of the files taken posted on Dadd's website and it included a Jefferson file. Not sure but I don't think his site is still up, however, it was in the list of documents taken from the ERHC office.
