I hate to say it, but I think these boards are loosing their relevancy and support. My personal experience has largely been positive but I believe there is an underlying effort by a group of individuals to constantly involve themselves in trashing and bashing and it is very tiresome. Most of the information posted is found on the internet on other sites (including company web sites).
The posters on this site who had great mining knowledge as investors and in many cases past miners themselves, have long gone... We used to get in depth analysis of results and their implications on our investments or our decision to invest (or divest). I will check in from time to time but don't expect to see that sort of dialogue again.
