Well, I may as well join in-BTW, 2s hitting. I think NC is great for himr but will not be our total savior. I have been told there are much bigger wood companies than NC that have shown interest. But NC has stuck with us from the beginning. Tony told me they have thought about a merger but would not do anything till himr proved what they could produce. If they prove it in a big way, why merge? If/when the Tigerlynk shows up, everybody will be wanting to merge because we will be dominating the industry-200 logs per day-wow !! Just do the math. Tex, why don't you simply call Tony Fernandez yourself-very nice guy to talk to-tell him I sent you. Maybe you'll feel more comfortable about things. HEMP? I'm really not that impressed, but you know if you are making hundreds of millions, a little side investment can't hurt. I think NC realizes himr's potential and just wants to keep their foot in the door so just in case, then they could always come back and remind himr we were with you through the tough times. Who knows, himr may wind up buying out NC-think BIG my friends-its coming !!!!!
