Sorry Bob, mea culpa ... it was meant entirely as compliment and not to give any offense, fwiw ... truly, i can think of no better moderator than someone who doesn't like moderated boards, plus you're often supplying the voice of wisdom saying wait-a-minute to various of the other more hypey stances so common on these threads, that's a valuable thing ... but, bad idea surprising you like that i guess, sorry
Easy for Matt to switch stuff around, anyway .... thing is, i think the format here is excellent, the place will grow, it is already climbing something of a growth curve, and the whole resource sector has very little representation so far ... plus, it's good to have a back-up to SI, which could undergo changes .... so i was indulging in a little boosterism, trying to pick up the pace and invite you at the same time, please don't take offense
It's not an onerous job, btw - i don't know how to delete posts here, and don't intend to learn
As for Doug, i don't understand his thinking either, it's like he feels his world jarred when the Gold To The Moon Tomorrow scenario is questioned ... but he's harmless imho, give him another decade or two and he'll settle down .... cheers
