I have no idea if Roberto actually said those things to you or if you've even spoken with him. I'm not saying it didn't happen, just that I (we) have no way of corroborating a second-hand conversation between he and you.
Rick,
I have no problem with you or anyone else taking what I posted regarding my conversation wtih Roberto with a grain of salt. That said, let me state emphatically that I did speak with him. I heard him say what he said. I did post a summary of what he told me.
It defied reason. I could not believe that anyone who still does not have a signed sealed agreement, on either side would undertake such expense or commitment. Then also the question I raised as to whether the partner was Volcan. His reply was yes.
I was actually as amazed as you as to what I heard him say. Had I for a moment given one centilla of credibility to his representations, I might have jumped in with both feet, pulled up the truck to load up again. Of course, I did not. It has been nearly six weeks since I spoke to him.
Now he reportedly is telling others that next year will bring some type of positive news/results? I'll believe it when I see it. I am in the same camp as many here. Just waiting for that news, as you and others.
