My awkward awe-striken realization of your awesome posts have me in awe, such that i am now aware and awashed with a realization that i have been awakened and is now able to start and continue away, up up and away, or is it time for me to be taken away, as in... ok, you get the picture. I just went back to when lbs1989 started posting, end of May, and using the Next 10 Display feature clicked and read semi-slow all your posts, and i was quite well as above i mentioned, amazed that without actually reading your posts for that watch/buy/hold/sell information on mining companies, i did not until now realize the strength and depth you supplied, and also that you and others exchanged very good comments. Don't know if your posting changed since lbs1989 started asking for help, but for sure your G/B/U format got my attention since i recognized it as a way to present a company for discussion allowing those who already have familiarity with the company to quickly focus on the area they feel strongest on and check if your info matches theirs, plus to obtain any info they are weak on. For sure you could start one of those threads i had noticed with title like "Precious Metal Companies, Ask RussWinters" But then you have enough people here and might not be able to or want to invest addition time if another dozen folks jumped onto Ask russwinter a question, or exchange info. The only reason i see would have my view on things, and that is many more read only folks view this thread than posters, and most of them have no ability to but only ask and learn. By this i mean that for those like i that have nothing to add, if you accepted and answered all only in public mode, then you would obtain a following a hundred times in number because many of the Private Message exchanges you do may contain more opinion'ated thoughts you have, while the public posts of yours may be toned down some what. For example, you may be exchanging with one person a current buying and selling a particulator company based on high speculation factors that will or may play out short term in these days or few weeks. I think this is how Zeev posts, lots of real time activity. d:oug
