Hutch,

<<Ron and I fulfill a need, balance. >>

Why do you and Ron feel compelled to provide that "balance" on this thread?

1) It is clear to anybody that posts here that most are pro-gold and hold different values than you and Ron.

2) We have listened to Ron tell us time and time again why he believes gold is a relic .... that's fine too.

3) It is clear we hold different value judgements on what gold represents.

4) We (pro-gold) may be completely wrong - that's our prerogative and we will pay for it.

My question is simple. S/I would certainly have no objection to you and/or Ron starting your own thread .... I'll even give it a name for you: "Why Gold is a Relic - The Ron and Hutch Dogma."

Those who wanted to listen to you, are free to go there. Those that do not, can stay here or the GPM.

Seems like a simple solution to me .... I can not help but wonder, why Ron in particular seems to reluctant to do so.

Do not tell me you have the right to do this or that ... we all have rights in the free world - but whether or not it is good judgement to necessarily exercise them is a different question.

So .... provide your balance - but why not do it on another thread and get rid of the antagonism here and the GPM.
