Jay! You have struck me to the existential core. You don't understand gold but you like it a lot. Well I don't understand money but also like it a lot. I keep a percentage of my assetts in gold because I truly take Greenscam at his word that he doesn't know what money is either, but continues to flood us with paper. I wonder sometimes late at night what must have gotten into him. He seemed so talented, articulate, and committed when he was in the Ayn Rand circle decades ago thinking gold was worth basing the world's financial structure on on. It is an undeniable fact that gold will remain scarce and beautiful and sougth after UNTIL we tap into a cheap source of energy to mine the oceans' tons and it will then be like copper or iron, cheap as dirt...but then we will have a source of energy to take seriously many great and sensible things liek expanding the Spaceguard program to watch for asteroids from the southern hemisphere. This would have seemed paranoid to a sensate velociraptor approximately 65 million years ago....I think I will hold onto my gold, sorry Mq to have departed the Q* faithful. jim black
