Part 1 - Question to thread. Part 2 - my reply to d (see part 1). Part 1 ------ Anyone wish to suggest more post qualifiers to add to Off Topic ? This post was initiated by my read of d's post about conspiracies, and my take is that it is just another continuation of d's attack on the GATA effort that has identified Barrick's hedging as hurting the price of gold. Many have posted that these kind of posts interrupt and even cause damage to the thread, not only in spirit but also in purpose. We can all note that some who speak up as such have also been engaged in doing the same type of activity, and when not on the sidelines but into the thick of things, one does not seem to reconize the validity of past thoughts to apply to their current task. My take is that I have complained about others, and will continue to ignore the complaint against me since I see & understand the solid foundation I stand upon. I am no different that most all in this manner. So might we agree upon some simply Warning/Attention/Note type of post prefix to warn others that wish not to be suck'ed into reading a post to only realize it's "off" in a general way content. Suggestions ? (only for this thread) Or let it slide, take no action and let it continue and continue with the complaining of wrong without anything more than Bitch'ing. Or address it like parents say to children "Just say no to drugs", and later after they become addicts the parents complain that its not their fault because their child told them they said "no". Part 2 (attack/defend/strike/chit/bullchit/garbage/...) ------ <<disappointment over the POG leads to much paranoia some of which washes up on this thread. >> <<Proof is always lacking>> <<all talk of conspiracy will evaporate. >> <<if you believe in conspiracies the burden of proof rests with you - PROVE IT!! >> <<Conspiracy theories feed on one thing - lack of proof.>> d, might a <<lack of proof>> originate from a lack of information, as in restricted access ??? Lets ignore Barrick and do a simple USA gold in Fort Knox accountability. The citizens of America can obtain thru access of a review of past acts of Congress and identify and outline the nature of this storage. ok, do so and then verify as in an audit outlined in the procedures set down by the USA government and obtain a follow thru. of d & GATA & USA citizen, erase as null a <<lack of proof>>.
