I contacted Principal Energy again today to ask what they are offering per acre at this time, they were offering $1,000 as of 11/10/11.  Jonathan called me back immediately, only to chastise me for putting a copy of the contract that he wanted me to sign on this site.  I stated in my previous post that he was rude, this time, saying he was rude would be putting it mildly.  This time he was Pissed Off AND Rude.  He told me that because of putting anything on this website and referring to his company as a "vulture" that they had no offer for me at this time.  Isn't that what this site is for...to make informed decisions?  He told me that he was completely honest with me and that by my putting the contract on this site (to get some input from others) that I was not being completely honest with him and he almost lost his job over it, therefore he did not wish to do business with me anymore.  Maybe my gut feeling to NOT deal with this company in the beginning was right!!
