I did and he doesn't discuss business matters with people he doesn't know. You talk a lot about "wild and baseless" comments but I see nothing to back up anything you've said the last couple of days either.

Here is an article from 2007 also that mentions the plant

http://www.the-land.com/l_poultry/local_story_249102326.html

I found reference to it in the state database as having an air permit and being an active facility.

It does exist but from the poking around I have done recently HH Capital Advisors they are no longer working with LLEG. The fact that Bartoszek no longer mentions them lends some credence to this information. I was reading another financial board a week or so ago and someone posted that HH dropped LLEG the same week that MBBLLEG managed to vanish from the IHUB world. This may or not be true but MBB did not identify them in his last update on his blog. I posted a comment in the form of a question about it and it never showed up on the blog. All the comments have to be approved by him and the fact it didn't show up leads me to believe he didn't want to answer.

Half way down on the second page of comments on the first item.

I can assure you if we owned that many shares of LLEG we would be doing more than signing up on IHUB in the middle of the night to make 3 or 4 posts. I am out of here - have much to do today.

Oh yes and because I a few others had the temerity to mention LLEG's responsibility to the stockholders when they make statements in their PRs we are labeled "bashers". I suppose what we're supposed to do is sit on the sidelines like nice little girls and boys and to ignor the past nine years of LLEG history and listen to you pump the stock and tell us how rosey things are and to be "patient". Well alot of us are tired of being "patient" and are beginning to see LLEG as just another Pink. A real business would not make statements about "90 day agreements" and "30 day extensions" and not follow through. A number of us have been told to just call or post to MBB's blog to get answers. Well we did and our questions never get posted. Why did the Berlin residents all disappear off this board at the same time the "pumper extraordinaire" MBBLLEG did. Is it they know something the rest of us don't know?

These definitions are right out of the Forbes Investopedia.

Basher: An individual, either acting alone or on behalf of someone else, who attempts to devalue a stock by spreading false or exaggerated claims against a public company. After the stock's price has dropped, the basher, or the basher's employer, will then purchase the stock at a lower price than what he or she believes it is intrinsically worth.

Pump and Dump: A scheme that attempts to boost the price of a stock through recommendations based on false, misleading or greatly exaggerated statements. The perpetrators of this scheme, who already have an established position in the company's stock, sell their positions after the hype has led to a higher share price. This practice is illegal based on securities law and can lead to heavy fines.

Given Laidlaw's 9 year history of PR statements, and "accomplishments", how do these definitions describe the posters on this Board?

It's not "bashing" when someone points out the fact that Laidlaw has time and time again not come through on promises made in PR statements. As for the term "pump and dump" I'll leave it up to the readers of this board as to whom this description best fits.

I came across this post on a local Berlin blog today and I think it sums up this situation in a very interesting way:

Let’s consider the history of LLEG announcements

April 2, 2007 - Expected to close within next several months

June 19, 2007 – Expected to close within next several months

July 17, 2007 – Will commence operations in late 2008 or early 2009

August 6, 2007 – Will commence operations in late 2008 or early 2009

August 27, 2007 – Expect to close on the acquisition within the next 60 days

December 4, 2007 – Expect to close on the acquisition of the Berlin property within the next few weeks

December 10, 2007 – On track to close on the Berlin property around the end of the year

January 11, 2008 – Planning board action on subdivision paves the way for imminent execution of the purchase agreement

February 19, 2008 – Currently in the process of finalizing arrangements to close on the property

April 1, 2008 – in the process of finalizing the asset purchase agreement

June 6, 2008 - We hope to conclude this deal very soon.

September 9, 2008 - I think we are pretty close to finishing this and once it is done we will make another milestone payment to the seller and set a closing date.

August 6, 2007 – announced financing with Greystone

April 1, 2008 – announced financing with HH Capital Advisors

- Note, HH Capital has not even been mentioned in most recent releases. They’ve gone back to the generic “financing” phrase

December 12, 2007 – Expect to become fully reporting and move to the OTCBB first quarter 2008

Now . . . let’s consider the outcome of those announcements. The proven track record.

I also noticed a post on that blog tonight mentioning the vanishing of a very active pumper on this board, MBBLLEG, on 8/18/08 the same time period that MBB's blog went inactive. I find this more than a little interesting.

Its looking like this stock has all the characteristics of a typical Pink Sheet stock.
