stu, it is VERY appropriate to make an investing decision based on that. The "better safe than sorry" maxim certainly applies.
However, it is way beyond any reason to make a carreer out of libel from these most tenuous threads of similarity.
FWIW, Turino, Lo Casto and Cassavant were very approachable and charismatic people. between them they stole close to a billion. $90K of it was from me.
Not one thing John has done even comes close. The mystery catalyst is the only operations "red flag" of passing interest and Islechem more than mitigates it..
The "E" is an ugly thing that I find very hard to put up with. It is, by definition, a red flag. How ironic if they did it because John abstained from a shareholder vote that went against the board's recommendations to stick with gately for now... That would be the biggest slap at democracy ever.
