I liked Woodstock's friend's comment about too many armchair miners on this board, though it can't be as bad as SH. Plus I often successfully find quarters and dimes under the cushions of the furniture in my living room so I must be doing something right in my armchair mining.

It is unfortunate that he would not post his views, I for one am certainly willing to learn from anyone who has good information and knowledge about the mining industry and about their particular experience in the NWT. And the atmosphere on this Board is very positive for new posters. Thanks for posting that Woody, and perhaps your friend will change his mind. Ike
