Jabojaw,

Many of those who now post on Stockhouse would still, instead, be contributing here, if they hadn't been banned from this forum. In most cases they were "asked to leave" when they persistently committed flagrant violations our "Six Rules".

I sometimes see the conduct of our forum contributors to be much like how Jim Puplava wants his Q-callers to behave if they seriously want their questions answered on his Q-line. That is, Jim prefers that there be no vulgarity, no insults of family members or references to body parts or profanity. And, that there be no threats of violence or racial slurs. (By the way, I have seen each of these sorts of comments at various times on Stockhouse's Tyhee forum.)

So, unlike what you won't find on Stockhouse, but much like those Q-callers that Jim has on Financial Sense News, I feel that what we've got here is a great bunch of enormously thoughtful, honest, constructive and civil contributors whose posts, I hope, make you feel as proud as I am for what we all have done to make this forum as valuable as it has become.

Thank you.

Cheers,

Baires
