Mike Knapp replied to Ron Eiselstein's discussion '"Fang's Agenda"'"As opposed to your car analogy? A car has value to me. I can drive it. I can sell it to anyone else and they can use it, as is.

Mike Knapp replied to Ron Eiselstein's discussion '"Fang's Agenda"'"I said nothing of the sort. I said that larger units are more efficient. And they are.

Mike Knapp replied to Ron Eiselstein's discussion '"Fang's Agenda"'"All true Keith. As far as unit size goes, companies have a long term and (some) landowners have a short term view.

Mike Knapp replied to Ron Eiselstein's discussion '"Landowners/The Downtrodden"'"I very much favor working with educated landowners, but this "us vs. them" attitude isn't good for anyone.

- For a refresher...the property is surrounded by leases with either RR or XTO. There is some pooling of property owners with RR but I contacted the number of that former land man and the number is no longer working. The property is in Picture Rocks, Lycoming COunty, Wolf Twnship. JC

- Hey Mike, I know you left me a comment in December. I have been in Japan for the past three weeks and out of touch. I cannot find the comment now but it was something to do with you have some experience in leasing. What do you need from me to proceed in going after a gas lease on my 8.3 acres of very strategically located (close to existing gas lines) property. JC
