I understand what you mean, Don. You mean that we can all easily find out essential information that we need by sourcing a few basic web sites. That is almost entirely true, in my opinion, and this thought also ocurred to me before you posted it. However, I do give you credit for the original thought!

I would add the ICSID World Bank site to that short list of advisory web sites as well.

I am an info glutton and welcome all kinds of relevant info postings just like Ifeelyellow often puts up. I also miss the many posts from news media relevant to mining and politics in VZ. Though not critically important, just recall that when that butterfly in the jungle beats its wings, a chain of events is set off, the outcome of which remains to be seen.

I think this is a great Board and that the people who remain here who are decent and respectful to one another have lots to contribute. I look forward to sharing whatever I can find and hearing what others have to say.
