Yes it certainly looks like he has butchered a once fine company through his actions but moving on to current situation Peter is doing a commendable job and I think it is very important to seek to finalise this deal as soon as practicable whilst both the commodity and australian markets are in a stable position and provide us with a strong window to release the details of this announcement and also recieve continued support at higher levels which is currently occuring . Obviously these issue can take time but also be aware that delays can be costly and if they try and string this pending acquisition out for a protracted period of time it will only result in frustration amongst shareholders who in turn will loose confidence and commitment and slowly start selling off their stock , now I sincerely hope this doesnt happen and I am sure the boys are working dilligently towards finalisation as the nature of the deal might be considerable , also the idea of a trading halt pending the release of further imformation is sound and sensible and beneficial for all parties involved to allow them to consider and make a more informed decision on their purchase
