I didn't say it affected the mine operations. It could however, affect the people who are trying to make this work even after the accident that put Bill in the hospital. If you read carefully, you should see that not overyone who posts here is invested financially in the mine, but they do want it to work for "whatever" reason. I know Bill personally, I have had a substantial amount invested in SDRC since 2006, I take offense to anyone who obviously doesn't know all the facts, badmouthing someone whom they know very little about. If you want to continue to Bitch, Moan and Complain, try to find someone who is interested!!
