To: russwinter who wrote (2770 ) 10/16/2001 11:46:02 PM From: d:oug Respond to of 4051 Sorry, i should have been more exacting in my words so that anyone, especially new readers to this thread, understand that what i say is just my opinion, which hopefully just so long that i stay inside the Terms of Service with Silicon Investor which include all members that read my post that they have to take the responsibility outlined in the agreement they accepted to account any win or lost based on information posted by others to fall only on themselves since this public forum is not a news letter type situation where you pay others for investment advice. In simple general terms Silicon Investor members have payed for a membership here where they receive the ability to post on these threads plus other features, which is a good lead-in to the spirit here to exchange information in public so that others can also receive that information, meaning that if you and ole49r/gold_tutor exchange public posts and then continue with that discussion off line as in using e-mail or private messages, then those like i that read the last public text will not know so, and even now that you state of a making peace i take it to mean additional information became knowned to you both that was not made public on this thread, so this being the case i can only respond to what is public here, and in the same avenue as respecting Bob's wishes for me not to include any information from his public posts on this thread to another, i will in the same way respect your indication to me to not include you in any specific manner to what i posted. Since i have no idea how your and ole49r/gold_tutor public exchange was resolved i have to accept that since ole49r/gold_tutor never accepts defeat or a status of being incorrect, that you supplied what was needed to cancel her attacks upon your post about a GEO or something, so bottom line is that what she posted is in her mind correct and truthful. ok, enough, but eventhought i will exclude you as i stated above as not to "include" you, it is proper for me to reference you as either one that supplied or responded to ole49r/gold_tutor. Best if i ignore my enough above and make everything clear. Message from russwinter <well we all are waiting>, Doug, leave me out of that one... ole49r/gold_tutor, please do not inform this thread with those details you and Russ arrived at since Russ wishes not for any continuation and wants the status quo of "GT and I have made our peace, and we are both "getting on with our lives". Russ, it should now be clear that i am unable to take advice and will babble off at my keyboard with no end in sight it seems. ok, maybe we both can arrive at a win-win rather than what seems to be the flow of this post. First, i will try very hard not to include you in any posting i do with ole49r/gold_tutor in the sense that i speak for you or imply that my reference to you includes a connection of sort. ok, please exclude me from your new thread, as in do that which you the Moderator have done to ole49r/gold_tutor. Why? Simple, i can read your thread and since my Tyhee & GPGI input is very close to a Zero approaching from the negative side :o) that there is no need for me to post, and now the GOOD part. I'm off your thread with ole49r/gold_tutor also, soooooooooooo HOPEFULLY Bob Johnson will make the best of a bad situation, to choose the lessor of two evils and post on your thread rather here. To me that would be GREAT and might even cause those who hold a zillion "get lost dougak" thoughts to decremint it by one so its a zillion-1 :o) Hay for horse, lets give it a try. couple weeks lets see what Bob does i bet Bob can't "hold his breath" another week :o) d:oug
