Well, True Scouse, you say: "But the real reasons for my lack of posting here are that... - Sorry to say, but IMHO there's been a lot of fluff on this board recently. Lots of posts about stuff that's got absolutely nothing to do with the PM markets..." I would assume you mean the friendly banter between loantech and all his friends---kidding, I know you are referring to post by guys like myself and a few others. In as much as that comment is a self indulgent sideswipe of guys like myself, I will respond---whether you like it or not. This is about the best thread out there for mining stock knowledge. But one does not hold a thread together with nothing but 100% posts about mining stocks. That will only work for a thread full of incurious robots and sociopaths-lol. Sort of like our present administration-lol. The "fluff" as you call it is the social glue that holds a thread together; and there is more than enough meat posts to survive the potato's posts. So, this "fluff" takes two main forms: "greetings and social interactions between friends" and "knowledge". If all one can talk about is PM's my guess is that that particular person does not understand the importance of social glue and probably has little respect for general knowledge, if they discard "konwledge posts", so easily. It sounds to me like you think everyone on this thread should post according to your desires. Sorry man, you should have laid out your criteria for posts earlier, so I and others would not upset you. Maybe if you ask loantech he will allow you to make a list of exactly what you want everyone to post, so you will do us the great honor of posting here more often, so we can be the recipients of your great knowledge about PM's! Where do you get off complaining about posts on a thread where you only visit once in awhile. Pretty damn presumptuous of you if you ask me.

Fluff, yeah i know what you mean, that comment about the goats was a bit much eh ... it's not like they were virgin goats, and we were fanatics, or anything ... but such are the vagaries of internet threads, which seem to be actually quite good preparation for fatherhood of two year olds of all ages ... identity tied up, yup, for sure ... got a birthday coming up real soon, big deal, built a palapa, got a van full of balloons coming, and my wife is making piñatas today - well the star of the show just decided to bust one early, did pretty well at it too, now we're experiencing the aftereffects of discipline ... fluff indeed, lol, the great thing about internet threads is you can turn the speakers off, and there's a Next button csl.h - yes i'll likely nibble a few around here ... already did last winter at near double the price though ... outside of mandatory sedar filings, their last release was in october, if memory serves? ... what the hell? ... but the latter is rhetorical, my main reason for inactivity on a number of favourites is that i'm cashless until probably tuesday or later Shield Gold eh, heard of that somewhere ... did not hear that you were prez, congratulations, they could have made a worse choice imho ... well i'll have to check this one out before you're listed on Amex or .to or, um, anywhere at all -g- ... cheers
