No one can say we have not had very crappy communication over the years. We have always had a first rate resource and a second rate management and communication ( although I believe MH s a great addition). Not whining just stating a fact. I would love to hear everything in public but I know that I not feasible. In the absence of that then they should say nothing. The middle ground seems to confuse investors and the greater market. I have echoed my feelings many times as have you guys so we can agree to disagree. In the end, I sit and wait, not selling not buying (maybe I should but I won't).

I will say it.  I've never had the experience of talking at length with CEOs, CFOs, COOs or reading of hundreds of conversations with PR departments in any of the the stocks I have owned.

I will say it.  Interoil has not "always had a first rate resource".  That resource may have been in the ground for a couple hundred million years, but it was the people who today are being roundly demeaned who figured out it MIGHT be there and actually found it a few years ago, even where other much larger, much more well financed companies failed.

I will say it.  This large 'what have you done for me lately' school of whiners makes me sick, that otherwise smart, informed people can turn on a group of others that have accomplished and brought them so much.  And then you have the Johnny come latelies whose get rich quick expectations have be delayed.

A repeat of the poll of a year or two ago regarding expectations of gas value would be interesting.  I hope IOC management's expectation of what the gas is worth hasn't diminished as much as it seems to have diminished on this board.

You have your opinion Art.  Regarding your points, the first one I have, the second I believe it has been a solid resource and I have always "believed in the assets", regarding the third this is an investment.  The PR department and management have done a crummy job with distribution of information MULTIPLE TIMES (press releases, quarterly phone calls...).  If it can not be stated coherently then don't state it at all is my thought.  Tripping on one's appendage on conference calls like in the past is better to not talk at all.  As for the what have you done for me lately, I have been here since 2010 (not nearly as much as some but still a good amount of time).  What has happened, I have no real appreciation on a stock I believe is worth a boat load but the market has not shown it yet.  Easy for some to be OK with all of this when they are in at $7.  I am not whining, I can sell and move on if I want, but I choose not to.  I believe in the story and I believe MH will make it work.  I am happy he is here.  I am happy I own the stock.  You don't like my posting what I believe is reality, I don't like the self righteous shut up or sell it approach.  As we get closer everyone has a boil on their but (me included).  So I say, get the F-ing thing done.  If you want to chat offline feel free to send a message.  This thread has already gotten to far off track (and I am aware I contributed to that).
