Clear to anyone who visits your Free to read, but don't Steal goldsheet is the seperation of your "Church & State" policy so that stuff like on this GPM thread do not clutter and reduce the use'ability of your site. You also have another seperation of "Company & Facts" policy in that only those advertisements you include to help pay for you time and cost in the site's overhead contain anything that can be biased or hype. You mentioned that your site will always be free to view it all, and if I am correct, it will always just present cold hard facts presented in ways to deliver more than one picture based on the tools available. Sounds good, but this may restrict your voice on this thread so that you do not express an opinion about a certain gold producing company that contains stuff outside the type you supply on your site. Simple good business practice so that all gold producers see your site via you as non judgemental outside mining numbers. Don't bash a company like I do towards Barrick, while it is ok to not defend Barrick, it is ok to mention that Barrick is not guilty of what I say until it is proven, and as such its just another company like all others with different numbers and procedures like hedging. You might also not do the opposite and bash GATA. They may win the battle. <<I need to get a list of companies who have contributed to GATA, so I can avoid investing in them ;) >> Best for the goldsheet not to take sides here because it would be easy for one to question the agenda of a web site that uses facts from sources that have been identified by GATA as helping the gold manipulators. No proof yet in the place of proven, but the Duck Test has already been used and the score was "off the chart" as in the needle was pinned to maximum Yes anti gold. d:o)g
