PM him and ask. I can only speak for myself. A monitored thread would have a lot of advantages. But I think with a little effort by everyone we can clean up this thread. Otherwise the current pattern of baiting and personal attacks always originating with the SAME person will continue to disrupt our honest efforts to share our work with the rest of you folks. Believe me this little clique of thread raiders looks for every word they can find in Slider's or my responses to their mud slinging. Once they find a few phrases that they can spin? They go into ANOTHER PM lobby campaign to the SI monitors to get Slider suspended. And they got me warned by SI several months ago on a real stretch! This last Slider suspension was REALLY outrageous IMO. As many of us posted in protest, the big fella did do squat to deserve that. But that little gang that hides over on HTP has been running this sabobage the S.D. thread game for a long time, Frank. Tommaso in particular, over time, has demonstrated a behavior pattern I can only characterize as an old fashioned Italian "vendetta". It's a blood feud and it never stops with people like him till you literally SHUT HIM DOWN. So, I guess my answer to you is the same as I just gave to XOsDA... Reemphasize that I think we have a great franchise on this thread. And we can fix the one real problem if we stick together and take action vs wait for it to go away. BTW, appreciated your post to Tommaso pointing out that he was inciting more conflict by pushing the idea of moving our gold discussions to another thread. Thank you. If everyone would challenge him like that? Like any school yard bully he'd be outta here. He'll only get away with starting one food fight after another with me or Slider so long as most folks here are afraid to challenge his provocations. Hell, we've seen what happens every time Slider replies in kind!! The gang goes into hyperdrive PMs mode to SI until they get him suspended. And I'm next on their hit list. Freakin' guaranteed! I'm willing to fight to protect myself and my right to post my market calls and NON-PERSONAL criticism of other threads or groups. SI has ruled in a PM to another contributer here that such comments ARE NOT a violation of the terms of use! But the response of personal attacks from the toy dog gang IS. And if the rest of you will stand up to this, with me, he and his little trouble makers will be history. And we won't need another thread. Isopatch

Okay, folks, that's it for me. I mostly lurk, occasionally post but mostly appreciate the likes of what Iso and Slider have to say. I protested to the Nazis who run SI and was basically told to shut up when Slider was shunned. So I hereby put Tommaso on ignore...Don't bother with an insipid, impotent retort, fella. This crap just ought to stop. I am no censor. But long ago I realized even as a kid that I could never read all the books in the Library of Congress. I had to be selective. Same here. Time is precious. Bye, bye Tommie, fly, fly fly (Think of Hannibal, do ya?) Jim Black
