garyble - "As "President" of Stanelco's US operations, would one expect Hoawrd White to make regular trips to the States??"
No, I would expect him to make occasional trips to the UK!

Hello Oblomov,
Do you think Howard is in the US of A walking the streets with a placard saying "buy Starpol and Greenseal, they are fantastic", or do you think that him being the Grand Fromage, he would actually be reserved for 'talks at the highest level' ?
No need to answer, just to be pedantic.

JJS,
We can speculate till the cows come home and thats fine as long as we make it clear that we are speculating - all I'm saying is that speculation isn't helpful to anyone reading the BB's when posted as fact. Many posters following this course have ended up being banned, PM1 a prime example of this which is why some people think you are PM1.

One fact, the price of oil is going through the roof. Now that should make a
stronger case for SEO.

SD,
You'd be 100% correct if that was his only function.

Oblo,
I'm sure you're simply bored and filling time untill news comes. Unless I'm mistaken, JJS has a familiar tone, and likewise your to-and-fro with him also.

Wouldn't disagree with that, gary.

Do hope you are NOT going to 'attack' all the postings of jjs( whoever he or she is).
GROW UP if you do not wish to read their postings then - squelch them.
Please do not let this thread descend into the slanging match you have been involved in before ( unless of course you are not the same person as YOU were before - in which case I apologise).
Just hope jjs is big enough to ignore you - if you will play the spoiled child or the cantankerous grandparent ( which ever hat fits).
Hopefully my last words on the subject. Know you are all bored waiting for news-but this is usually a 'clean! and interesting thread' - surely there will be some seo news to talk about.

is it just me or does no one else find this all a bit sad. i mean, anyone who has the remotest interest in the thoughts of pm1/red erik/jjs is already on his mailing list. why on earth does the clown feel this compulsion to post on free bbs, even after he has been banned, unless, a) he has no life and is a thoroughly sad muppet, or b) he is a conman.

samon,
How many JJS postings have you seen me attack, or PM1's for that matter? Only the ones I thought not to be based on fact and I reserve the right to attack those whoever posts them, so you grow up.
In the case of PM1 the admin of both MAM and FYB obviously agreed with my 'attacks' or he would still be free to post under PM1.

I have to agree with oblomov on his point of fact, not possible fiction.
All he is asking for is for posters to substantiate their posts or state that the post is either, fact, speculation or opinion. I agree we don't want this thread to develop into a slanging match but the point made was made politely. But yes, perhaps we should call it a day, and move on. ( Hope this upsets neither of them. )
Cheers, Greek.

I find that factual posts are useful, especially those that are backed up with proof, but some people cannot always prove their information is fact without revealing who or where it came from, because if they did it could get at least two people into big trouble.
I would rather take a posts validity by the history of the poster, and if the poster has no known history, they have no validity until they create some history of being right, this might be something others might like to consider, rather than argue the point of fact, just take the post or leave it.

I fully agree, so if you have a source that you don't wish to reveal say so. This as you say will go some way to giving the poster a history of being right or wrong.
Many posters have in the past just put " This is going up ". or " Just wait till Friday ". I think it was this type of post that gave rise to auguments.
But I do take your point.

Interesting,
If my spanish is reasonably accurate, the SPhere website states that the Biotec plant will achieve a 25,000 tonne production capacity of biodegradable pelltes by the end of 2007, which would equate to in excess of Euro 50m turnover if all sold.{

Correction: the above refers to the production at the Utebo plant in Zaragoza.

Even more interesting {extract from the "news release" page of the Sphere website} translated from the Spanish:
"BIOTEC, which is 50% controlled by Stanelco, a Britsh company, had a turnover of 2.5m in 2005 and projects to increase its production capacity of bioplastics from 15,000 tonnes pa. at present, to 50,000 tonnes pa. by the end of 2006. The business does not rule out building a second plant of 50,000 tonnes pa. in France in 2007 and considers realistically to reach a production potential of bioplastics of 200,000 tonnes pa. in approximately two years, given the needs of this new market".

This short extract is taken from the following site ( author JoAnn Hines 20/04/06 )
It's a very good interesting article.
See link

On 22nd of April it will be the 36th Earth Day Battle.
Many detractors of the packaging industry get charged up during this period with claims of what packaging is doing to the environment. The landfills are full of it, but some counties are doing something about it. "Walmart rocks packaging world with corn based order". If Walmart becomes an early adapter the rest of the packaging world will follow suit. Any oil and or gas plastic based plastic packaging supplier will be scrambling to keep their business.
End of extract.
As the article also states, the author gets several releases a day on new packaging that supports the environment.
Those with patience will see this come good, and when it does there will be no stopping it. It will IMHO be like a trickle turned into a flood.
Would have been an even better article if Stanelco had received a mention.
