Well here it is, my first post about a communication with Andy. I put my follow-up email to him first, to explain that I did request his permission to post his email replies to me (a proper thing to do).

May I have your permission to post this please, as it supports my rhetoric to this group of people. And although it doesn't come in the form of a PR, it should carry an equal weight as compared to the other rhetoric being posted.

Certainly. My role as the contact person for CMKX, aside from official filings and pr's, is to offer clarification to all shareholders. Therefore, my responses to shareholders should be considered representative of CMKX management's opinion on any clarifications I provide.

The reason I'm writing to you is to ask if there is ANY way Mr. Casavant and/or the legal team will permit SOME sort of press release to shareholders, repeating what you are reported to have said on the message boards. (in regard to the idea of not to believe 99.9% of information/rumors posted)
There are people becoming slanderous of you and Mr. Casavant. A small group of the message board members have even gone so far as to hire a personal injury lawyer to shadow our corporate attorneys to the SEC hearings, as if to say this new lawyer is better able to look out for the interests of the shareholders.
(personal comment)
I'm not asking for the share structure, or valuation, or drilling/mining status - HONEST! All I need to hear is an official PR statement, reiterating the things being written on the message boards. This would provide consistency to the word already released, that nothing should be believed unless it is in the form of a PR.
Does the corporate legal team of CMKX welcome the efforts of Mr.. Frizzell? Is there indeed a plan of action that CMKX will follow regardless of how the SEC hearing falls? Are there official words of confidence that Mr. Casavant can share with us via a PR, that we can show to the message boards and say HERE are the official words of our company!
This last weekend on the message board was very discouraging, and I am afraid that the groups bashing the company are going to get the upper hand. My personal belief is that Mr.. Frizzell is part of the organized effort to bring down CMKX.
Please help a LOT of people maintain their high level of support for our company. Please ask Mr. Casavant for an official word that can be released in a PR, for ALL of us to believe. Make it as unambiguous as you can, because there are some who take great pride in dissecting every word, every nuance, to develop their own spin.
Thanks in advance for your time and effort in this most important matter. Do not reveal anything which would jeopardize our current level of corporate security, but please don't say nothing "officially" in a PR. I fear that at this point, "no comment" is being seen as a very negative thing for the shareholders to see or hear.
Thanks again.

Hi John...
Thanks for your email. If you refer and contain yourself to the PR's issued so far in 2005, there has been alot of valuable information released by CMKX management. That is why I implore all shareholders to ignore all rumors and speculation on message boards and chat rooms.
Not only is most of the info. in these forums incorrect or misleading, 90% of all CMKX shareholders will never read or participate in them. These shareholders are the silent majority who never waste their time paying any attention to it and choose instead to wait for CMKX to speak in an official manner.
CMKX is preparing for a hearing with the SEC now set for May 10th in L.A. Until the company advises otherwise this is the current reality.
As to Mr. Frizzell, CMKX offers no public opinion as to whether shareholders should or should not spend their own $25. It must be left up to the individual.
BTW...neither Mr. Williams nor Mr. Dhonau have any official capacity with CMKX. Neither of them are Officers or Directors at this time and any statements made by either of them over the weekend in Vegas (ie Paltalk comments) should be considered their own personal opinion as private citizens.
Best regards and thank you for your continued support of Mr. Casavant and TEAM.
Andy

My specific questions were not answered, however, he did make a few rather pointed statements, which I for one will consider actionable.
My speculation: I hope we may see more "official" PR information, regarding lesser activities to dispell the rumor-mongering. I think the discussions as reported via Paltalk are properly put into perspective. I also think the Frizzell issue now becomes a non-debate issue, not worthy of tout or rebutt.
I just hope in this feeble attempt of mine to get a grip on some semblance of reality is not seen as "empty words". Andy didn't mince words, and I see little room for further speculation.
