I know you tried to fix things afterward, I was talking about your initial, misleading post. I even gave you the benefit of the doubt in terms of your intention. But it was misleading. I'm likely one of the most skeptical people on this board in terms of AUMN and PM's in general, of course, that still leaves me as a fan of both.

True enough, I say very little of substance here, because I have next to no knowledge of mining and PM's when compared to most on this board. I do know something about writing styles and character, however. My own writing style isn't too bad, if I take some time, my character, heck, as assailable as the next guy's.

I'll come up with an appropriate Avatar after some thought and let you know what it should be - undoubtedly it will be somewhat biased, but, as always, as genuine as possible given the circumstancs. I likely won't hit the nail on the head like yours, though, and I hope I don't conclude it should be a gnat.

And lots of the stuff you say about me is arguably correct (glass houses -sure, I take anonymous shots at people from time to time - not a thing of which to be proud, but to be expected on a message board), but not the part about being unable to tolerate bad news - just the opposite, I expect bad news and say to myself and others on this board, "I told you so." "Narcissitic" - who knows, maybe, but I've had so many years to pile up evidence as to why.

Notwithstanding any personal issue I may have with you, did I mention your initial post was misleading? LOL
