Lethal, I see you still don't get my point about "rumours". Your last post,with all those positive spin messages, does have an effect on what the readers might think. They form an inaccurate thought process of what might soon be reality. They in fact may turn out to be reality but perhaps these rumours could be far from the truth of what will actually transpire. What if you had posted the following under your post "Rumours". 1)Peter smith was seen by an unknown source as though he was a sad beaten old man after his return from England. 2) Magpie results may have been held up this long as the results may be somewhat less positive than expected and have been sent back to the lab for re-analysis. 3) Cliff's it is thought has been in contact with Peter. Is there a buyout in the offing and how will this affect Noront's possible elephant findings? 4) Lamalee results and the Magpie IPO will likely not happen till early summer one source says. Do you see the negative impact these rumours might have versus positive ones? People read these posts and if not aware that they are just what they say they are, ie. rumours, they may form an opinion of what their trading strategy might be. These words if not taken literally do enter the subconscious and have a bearing on people's actions. Even though I am aware that you are maybe poking fun at our situation, I personally think rumours should not be posted on this or any board. One must wonder at the underlying reason for those that do. the deputy
