Palm, MH did indeed say those things. I thought the second of the excerpts was very telling. MH actually interjected those comments following a response given by Dave Holland before they took another question. I think as MH continues to do the "vision thing", he will be a very convincing spokesman for IOC´s potential without all of the sidebars offered by his predecessor.

Agree, as long as he doesn't become one of these:
Wait, that's not Spartina is it? Hohoho
That's what is interesting about these experienced guys that come into IOC. He and henry both have seen a lot of formations and they both have been amazed at what IOC has discovered (thanks Dave Holland!). For him to make these statements is not to be ignored. Another thing of interest. In another thread Pet and I came to the conclusion that it's likely at this point that Exxon is the only dog in the hunt and that MAYBE they are talking to others. In this transcript piece Dr Mike flat out states:
"Your question or comments around partnering, yes, we are actively in discussion with companies, and we are looking for a strategic partner. We're not just looking for a partner who brings dollars. We're looking for a partner who has an appropriate strategic fit and will help us work together to try and capture the upside, the potential upside that sits around Elk, Antelope and Triceratops."
So, they may not be "negotiating" because they are in "exclusive negotiations" with Exxon, but they ARE "in discussions". Interesting.
