When all else fails, bashers try to destroy a forum with a tactic called "poster chill". That is simply to bash as many posters as possible, and the easiest place to start is "soft posts". The impact is simply to discourage people from posting, period, creating the impression that people are losing interest in the stock. OK, if we get two posters squabbling over non-business issues, they should be asked to use PM. However, for example, I found the Atem debate quite enlighhhtening to a point, and then skipped some later redundancies.

Please keep the posts coming , as they relate to NOT' s endeavours, geo, its industry/economics , logistics and its nearby plays. They are all quite relevant to this Board. Most of us have no problem with a limited amount of social stuff, as long as it is not personal and negative. Posts that indicate a poster does not understand basic industry/economics and validity of competitive approaches SHOULD BE REPLIED TO by people who have the particular trade or professional experience. I will continue to reply to posts that are in my area of expertise, (which means I love to read most of the geo and logistics stuff over and over without comment.) If you have substantial experience in particular areas and recognise a mis-post, consider it a service to provide a corrective view, because most members will be in the middle as to knowledge.
