But Bob, I always seem to have a totally biased opinion that is formulated from a perspective of having no personal knowledge or experience in these matters of monitoring the price of gold. Guess I'm like an anti-RonReese where he has too much all mixed together so that the good bad and dougie combine into a one piece solid post having a good tone of understanding while at the same time "much about nothing" or "nothing about something." My guess is that Ron has that great desire to not only understand but to also have great amounts of undestanding so that he obtains great quantities of stuff without being aware that too much quantity causes a quality problem. I have noticed in some of Ron's long posts that he will change from a distinctive viewpoint obtained from a text to another from a text by a different author who holds similiar views obtained from a different angle of approach that does not match well combined with the other author. Now you know why I perfer your posts to Ron's, as you only put into a post what you understand rather than what you believe to understand thru faith. All above joking as usual, except for the comments about myself. As you mentioned that I could start a web site and put all those urls into a page and get hits and get a pay check for doing nothing to little. Joking to the extreme you did, as I knew, as I know because you told us all who use your site that its a lot of work each and every day to keep it current and useful, and based on income you work for just a little over slave labor, 25 cents/day. Those urls I collect most cause my pc to Fatal, especially the BigChart ones. Which is ok since even for the ones I can go to, I am clueless to what it is to help me undestand. Which reminds me of one of yesterday with a 100 year chart I added to that list, and I actually tried to get a clue of what it is, but nope, nothing. ok, you are thinking "what does he want to say/ask???" My totally biased opinion that is formulated from nothing, I had another on another thread and wonder if you agree or not. (as follows:) The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee's open letter in the Washington D.C. RollCall newspaper could very well cause a sooner than later development into the importance and desirability of gold and other precious metals that represent a store of value or protection like insurance against a nation's currency. Unlike GATA's first open letter in RollCall, this one goes beyond a government conspiracy look-a-like and thusly being ignored along with the other "soup of the day" babble of men on street corners holding sign "Life Ended Yesterday." This one went outside the government into the place of big and powerful financial institutes & persons with the naming of names, and with a re-election "threat" to politicians. All in public, not on a "crackpot web site" nor on a "gatanut web site." If not addressed by those pointed to by GATA either thru legal action like a lawsuit or thru simple presenting facts to prove GATA has incorrect data, then its "guilty until proven innocent." Now the mainstream media has but no choice to look into this matter, as they know that all non mainstream reporters and investigators will be looking for The Big Story. Now all the mainstream media outlets having colluted together in an unwriten and unspoken agreement to leave untouched the big money and big power folks that they rub elbows with and toast drinks with at high societies parties, now the story will break sooner than later by a no name newspaper and they will be scooped and left holding a Freedom of the Press paper bag with a hole in it's bottom and their creditability will have fallen and disappeared as it washed down into a storm drain of a street gutter outside their work place. Might be a good idea to perk up the company web site tyhee.com as it is only now a signal "hello" page. What was to be next year GATA has now made into a next month.

<An opinion is formulated by a human being whose perspective is biased by their own personal knowledge and experiences, therefore it can not be unbiased.> The demand for an unbiased opinion aims at the ultimate conceivable freedom from prejudice, shaping itself with actual autonomy according to ultimate evidences it has itself produced, and is therefore absolutely self-responsible. The radicalness of self-responsibility is what an unbiased opinion represents. Perfect evidence and its correlate, pure and genuine truth, are given as ideas lodged in the striving for knowledge, for fulfillment of one's meaning intention. By immersing ourselves in such a striving, we can extract those ideas from it. What do all your stats and facts mean, Bob Johnson, if they are not rooted in the personal striving for knowledge? What are you hiding behind, Bob? Science looks for truths that are valid and unbiased, and remain so, once for all and for everyone; it seeks verifications of a new kind, verifications carried through to the end. Science does not attain actualization of a system of absolute truths, but rather is obliged to modify its truths again and again. An unbiased opinion involves an order of cognition, proceeding from intrinsically earlier to intrinsically later cognitions; ultimately, then, a beginning and a line of advance that are not chosen arbitrarily but have their basis in the nature of the things themselves. In an unbiased opinion, I must neither make nor go on accepting any judgement as scientific that I have not derived from evidence, from experiences in which the affairs in question are present to me as they themselves. Indeed, even then I must at all times reflect on the pertinent evidence; I must examine its range and make evident to myself how far that evidence, how far its perfection, the actual giving of the affairs themselves extends. Where this is still wanting, I must not claim any final validity, but must account my judgement as, at best, a possible intermediate stage on the way to final validity.

Bob, Last year your web site of goldsheet.simplenet.com made a list of best web sites. Was that the Forbes list ? Their magazine on the rack now has this years best and since your site only gets better with age then most likely you will make it again. I found Forbes on the web but not the list, but there was a page for a "second" vote by readers, and a GoldSheet name was on it. It was under Niches. If its your site then we all on this thread can show our thanks and vote it eXcellent by clicking on it and give it the ratings. Best of the Web ÿ¯ÿ Investing ÿ¯ÿ Nichesÿ deja.com forbes.com forbesbest.com forbesbest.com deja.com Would be unexpected if the Le Metropole Cafe was mentioned since its still in the "trial" phase and doesn't have bells & whistles yet.
