TSL, you are looking for rules for the perfect thread. The best thread, IMO, has to have an existential nature to it.

Here is why: all of reality and all of the universe is both relative and related, so sometimes obtuse information is very important to a mining investment or trade.

Example: Any mining thread that does not talk about the impact of China on base metal consumption is foolish in my opinion. We all know that, but many if not most mining threads would consider that OT. So defining what is and what is not, in realaity, OT is very subjective.

So where does that lead? Well China is the new and most powerful economic force in the world today; and most polluted country on earth. 7 of the 10 of the most polluted cities are in China. China and the US produce somthing like half of the carbon dioxide in the world. And they are the two countries which refuse to sign the Kyoto agreement.

Which brings us to how do we solve pollution? Well with a lot of PGM's, copper, nickel, lead and zinc for scrubbers, hybred and electric cars, etc, etc.

And as the world decides to take global warming seriously the amount of base metals consumed will sky rocket.

Besides people cannot think in a vacuum or in a box, one needs the existential intellectual freedom to soar through the universe of ideas to explore for big ideas and how they connect-lol. Sometimes even to mining-lol.

Like EC does-lol.
