well, ronnie, it is like this. i was impressed with the man, Roy Valentine's credentials which were plastered up on that website URL. you see, that kind of detail about a person and his business practices is verifiable. and that removes Mr. Valentine and his operation from the scheme category and puts him into a whole different believable place in our books.
so, it was not just the fact that you didn't like old forty-niner that made us buy 9 shares yesterday. i just said that to get your goat and it worked. :)
i did find it quite fascinating that you are so jaded from all your work inside the beltway there at the State Department, where by the way, JANELLE AND I HELP PAY YOUR SALARY. we are grateful to the internet for bringing into our humble y2k prepared and preparing home, opportunities through the internet to go direct to the source for things, in this case, gold.
before you go calling someone a fraud and a scam, maybe you should go check it out first. i might have been suspicious if this guy had offered a share in a two ounce minimum recovery for say, $10.
now that would have raised my 'if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is' red flag. but as i read this goldminers offer, he's put it right out there: ' for a minimum of $2,400 per 3 hours, i'll turn on my equipment, invite you to come watch or just pay to play, and it is the luck of the diggings what you get out.' that's pretty straight forward talk as far as i'm concerned.
besides if i want to support some miner, whether i found him on the internet or stumbled across him at the chamber of commerce, and buy my gold for more than you would be comfortable paying for gold, what skin is that off of your nose anyhow?
we've been subjected to your rantings and ravings and 'balanced approach' bull**** for months on this thread, about the most serious thing to face this nation since Pearl Harbor, and that is Y2K chaos.
and you expect us to believe you and you haven't publically posted any verifiable facts about you anywhere to my knowledge.
and yet you come unglued and libel someone you have never seen, nor have ever checked out for practicing free enterprise who does furnish personal and business information and a picture no less, all of which can be verified by those who may be intrigued or interested for their own reasons.
oh, and one more thing. you missed by a mile when you made the silly statement that our son is going down there to get our gold because we don't trust Mr. Valentine. wrong again, sonny!
there is still a great deal of 'trust' involved. you see, our son can only go down for a little time on saturday, oct 9. we have bought into every run from when it starts on friday to monday noon. all that gold with Janelle's and my name on it will be sitting there before he arrives, and still be accumulating after he goes home, saturday night. so, it isn't because we don't trust the Valentines, that he is going at all. it is simply that Ron is able to get away and go see and learn and have a few hours fun doing something he's learned to enjoy living up there in washington state. he's kind of going as the surrogate for the rest of us who are too far away to go that weekend. i bet you are now going to suggest that i shouldn't trust my own son with the gold he picks up, right?
believe me, if Janelle and i weren't down here in georgia, we'd be there in a flash just for the experience to touch the earth in a new way, and also to shake that Valentine's hand! i'm 73 and i've always wanted to meet and visit with a goldminer. now i'm just going to have to settle for cyber mining and email, and second hand stories from my boy, which all in all, is better not participating at all.
glad to know you don't like the Salvation Army. Both my parents were captains in the army back when i was growing up. so, Janelle and i are already heavy financial supporters of their fine cause. that christian children's fund is now on our investigation list, thanks to your post. from what we've learned so far, they have just about the most donor dollar actually going to their intended receivers instead of to administrative overhead of the many charities we've ever heard of. heck, they have an even lower overhead 'bite' than our own church's mission programs.
so, thanks for the tip. we'll probably be writing a check to christian children's fund shortly as well.
this has been fun. but i must say the funniest part was you calling me a sucker, right there in bold print. seems like you have a real thin skin when it came to ken pulling your chain, but now that he's gone you think it is all right to start calling people names you've never met. you are a real good example of an out of touch bureaucrat in my nation's capitol. |
