Kaena,
Sign of low self-esteem "Hutch just doesn't like being wrong..."
My assessment of Hutch was quick and accurate over a year ago
when I joined this GPM thread searching for a cafe of an Lee Metro
next to a pole.
There are lots of men like Hutch in that small group of people
that have an extra extra high IQ that places them in a position
sometimes that prevents them from the growth others obtain
in their struggle to learn stuff. Many of them i have talked to,
and most hit this tall solid dark unmoving wall that prevents
them to acknowledge confusion since they equate not the utility
of it to learn using trial & error. Outside a narrow field of knowledge,
they remain ignorant not for lack of ability but because they will not
let themselves enter places of thoughts that require a process
of learning that can not be obtained from text reading or quick
mental formulation of available data. There really are dumb questions,
but if not asked and accepted as a way to learn certain types
of knowledge, then understanding for usage can not be obtained.
From this the Hutch(s) of the world remain limited people,
afraid of certain situations that identify them as not(s).
But Hutch is a very good and honest person, and i'm sure that
after a couple beers he would lossen up and unlease himself.
Not sure what value he supplies on this thread since the mining
markets business and financials etc i have no interest in except
that i have to keep my head stuck into this thread so that i can
monitor the price of gold a.k.a. battles between good & evil.
So yes Hutch does supply knowledge few if none else here
can supply, so yes whatever he does is good & needed,
but does not apply for my focus. Well, not absolutely really
since Hutch does give me a unique window into those battles
of Good v Evil, but thats a slant to the price of gold eventhought
on topic, not wanted on this thread.
Hopefully above is not taken as a personal attack towards Hutch,
or if it is, then it only equals Hutch's personal attacks towards me,
so that they cancel each out.
Also hopefully above was on-topic if only because i used word gold.
off-topic
"... most likely Hutch will just slip through the cracks
to be heard from no more."
To me that would be the "Silver Lining" to a gold bull market.
Additional Info: F-105 "Thunderchief" Pilot (Two tours in Vietnam)
Since we are the same age, then might your tours happened
when my single tour did? Dec 67 - Jan 69
up north, close to DMZ (rice patties)
west side, close to Laos (mountains/jungles)
USMC in private out corporal
What is the F-105 ?
Many a nights next to Laos those big bomber dropped
those biggest of big bombs that shook the earth.
Also that slow flying plane called Poof the Majic Dragon
that would lay every 10 seconds a bullet into each
square inch of a football field. Sounded like a monster
with a deep bad cry. In the sky, from way up from
the plane to the ground, a solid red line waving like
a death line to whatever it touched.
