I hate to say it Snug but you did mention KWG. But that isn't important. I think Gadgety took what you said the wrong way. KWG and Cliffs have an impending deal. There has been some comments about the deal that are not favourable. I'm an owner of KWG and hope the deal is a good one. Nobody knows, at least I don't, if it is good or not. It's all about how these things work out that determines if it is good or not. As an owner I find myself taking exception to others knocking this deal, even if they are right. They might just be right but then they know more than I do, and that is easy. I say this because I understand where gadgety is coming from. However, I didn't read into what you wrote the way he does. You simply stated a fact that what may be a coming deal between Spider and a major, could be bigger than the deal KWG made. This is your opinion and I saw nothing there to imply anything negative towards KWG. I don't think I, nor anyone else should assume there was a negative tone where none exisits. I hope Gadgety rethinks his thoughts. I own Spider as well as KWG. I bought KWG first when I was just learning about the Ring of Fire. After reading some comments by John, I thought Spider looked interesting as well. Thanks to the bargain basement prices I have a larger peice of the pie than I otherwise would. We've had some interesting posts the last few days to enjoy.........
