Perhaps yours is simply a case where nobody knew the answer Bob? Like you stated, I seem to remember that many here implied they wouldn't sell their water for any price.....coming from a forum dedicated to pond management, that would seem to indicate that many folks on here placed the health of their BOW above and beyond what it's monetary worth to a drilling operation would be. Therefore it would seem reasonable to assume that no one here knew what value ($$) to assign to your water.
