Thankyou for the informative answer Double D, perhaps you could spare a few more words for "your" explanation of the initiation of Canada's policy towards gold reserves back in the 80's,

Look, I realize I frustrate you and a lot of others with my questions. If you could just look at this as a game of pool, it might help to reduce "some of the frustration".

I have watched this game of "pool" for a while and it is fascinating. Now, being a very inexperienced player, it should be understandable that while trying to "play" the game, I would try to make some impossible "shots". Hopefully, as time goes by and my experience progresses, I will learn "what angle of shots can be made and which can't.
I would like to try a game once in a while, instead of just watching. As a "pro", I can understand you not wanting to play with a novice. That is why it would be nice to find an occasional "partner", this would allow me to "hammer the balls, possibly having one go in on the break, or failing that possibly being able to knock a "ball towards the pocket, and having my partner "sink" it. An "opponet can discourage by calling me an idiot for trying to make "an impossible shot", a partner can explain why that "shot is too difficult to make.". I wish you were the latter and not the former, but I understand where your coming from, I hope you can do likewise. I would happily go to "GOLD PRICE MONITOR FOR DUMMIES" but would my experience and therefore skill increase.
thanks for reading.( hopefully down the road, I will have progressed to the point where I can offer you a "challenging game"-mike
