it sounds like Thomas is, at least, mindful of the ramifications of a RS. i thought he sounded genuine as he spoke. i've never spoken ill of Thomas for the very reason, as i know everyone else here is aware, he took over, basically, a huge mess. i've tried to remain positive throughout this whole thing, just because, there really doesn't seem to be any possible value or usefulness in sh*ting in your own backyard. and, of course, there's a number of non-investors posting on this board constantly that are only too happy to sh*t here with their unsolicited sarcasm and doom scenarios 24/7. my first impression, upon listening is that this is going to take a while, but THERE IS HOPE!
