tool power, you make some great points, and you do so constructively. thanks for that. here's how i see things playing out: i think briscoe will want to stay in as CEO, but if they strike a huge deal with someone and get a nice pile of cash to start drilling, expect a portion of that to go towards a strong supporting staff, including a CFO with plenty of experience in joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions.
my trouble with what ontherise was saying earlier was primarily due to the inconsistencies (CEO or CFO -- a big difference!) and the disrespectful tone. despite some costly and unfortunate mistake along the way, i still think briscoe has done an incredible job during really tough times. as many here have said, we wouldn't be able to buy a piece of that caldera for under .05 a share without him.
