Ken, I am pro-gold pro-gata and even pro-Ken(you). But I have to admit that d, aka enigma, has "done a number" on you ever since I noticed months ago that his posts changed to a slick and polished reply that addressed not you as the designated receiver, but those who are not SI members and only read this thread, along with those who are able to post on SI but do not on this thread. These are those who do not have the depth and experience like you and most all others who post here, but only want a sense of who right and who is incorrect. Bottom line, whoever has the best sounding post wins. Needed is non technical replies to have the best "acceptance", and if technical then best to say in a manner that seems to be common sense rather than technical sense. Lots, if not all, of what d says sounds as if he is replying to a wacko, to someone out in left field, to someone with odd or extremes views. Correctness not an issue since the readers can not and want not to investigate, so they choose the correct reply as that which is not the most radical or the one not requiring thougths required to support their position. So Ken, you keep saying "its clear... just open you eyes" and d replies that you are lost and confused. d wants the readers to get not so much his message, but the message that Ken is a guy on a new york city street corner, and get you message as a wacho speaking. Thus whatever you say becomes anti that. Ken says Barrick and producers are doing wrong, and so the anti is received, making the above 2 ok'ness in what they do. You post Ken shows that you are here.hooklineandsinker.com From: Ken Monday, June 19, 2000 7:33 PM ET The essence of the article is so simple, yet, there are so many who fail to understand the message. The producers for one, and then we have their choir who would support any activity that they engaged in. Apologists are non thinkers and double density is the leader of the pack for the gold industry. I guess with a handle like enigma he is admitting that he doesn't make sense and is in fact a collage of contradictions. Ken
