EC, what Marshall Mcluen meant by the medium is the message was HOW information is dispersed. I know you know this (it is for everyone else-lol). For instance, when Gutenberg invented the moveable type and books replaced story telling, Mcluen believed that we started to think in a linear fashion rather than in wholeistic fashion of mental pictures. We were reading word by word left to right. Then TV changed things again. Mcluen learned perception from Joyce I believe. For instance Mcluen said light is pure information e.g. if you are in a dark closet you cannot see anything, but turn on the light and viola-lol. If people could just understand how relative each persons reality is maybe we could communicate better. I have found very few people who can put their egos aside and truly learn from each other. What makes this situation worse is that there are also right and wrong answers devoid of relativity for all practical purposes-lol. Torture for instance, obeys the laws of relativity for all practical purposes i.e. the few times one needs to really use it relate to the very small and almost insignificant HUP involved in the trajectory of a pitched baseball. Bush on the other hand, obeys the quantum world as his ideas always have a high probability of being almost anywhere in the universe. Hard to predict his thought trajectory-lol.

Eric, probably the best way to understand Joyce is to drink a half a pint of Irish whiskey before you turn a page. that way you are in the same "space" Joyce was when he wrote it.... on other matters, especially when it comes to pumping, perhaps you could share your opinion on ARU. I don't know if you are an expert at pumping, however, have you looked at the aerial picture and cross sections posted on ARU's website? The mineralization is capped by porous clastics (sandstone and conglomerate aquifer?) in a 'pull apart' basin over laying andesites, located in a valley bottom, in the tropics (high rainfall), with a river running through it. Comments from a mining engineer would be appreciated, but from my layman's perspective, there are going to be serious water issues with mining here that will require costly engineering solutions. I would wait for some kind of scoping study from a mining engineering consulting company. This is no Arequipa, located on a mountain side where relief and gravity facilitates drainage and haulage issues etc. Mineralization only makes ore if it can be extracted profitably and there is enough of it to to repay capital. I believe it will take a lot of pumping (pumping water) to turn this mineralization into a mine.
