Hi Long,

 Yes, I check this board almost every day in hopes someone will start a conversation.

I agree that after a long wait for good news we are finally seeing the chips fall into place.

Unfortunately, this site seems to be exclusively dedicated to ARU. Not much of anything else I own seems to be well represented yet and I am beginning to see the flaws in the model.

FF took offense at my last post on ARU even though it didn't mention him and as far as I can tell, has systematically gone to all my posts to date and voted against them which knocked me right back into the mailroom. I even suspect that he deleted my second post on this board which was only a reprint of an article without comment from me. It seems that if the crazies have enough friends, they will end up ruling the roost.

I will continue to post here, but will restrict myself to lurking on ARU. There are still many people there, such as yourself, whose opinion and info I value.

I wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2008 and here's hoping it contains and FCO mining permit for both of us.

Regards,

The Beav
