Digrdoug, welcome to The Jailhouse! Lately there haven't been too many inmates here, so we lifers sometimes call the place Club Matt.
I see that Sheriff Matt is concerned that you may not have noticed a subtle difference in posting etiquette between iHub and RB. I guess that's why y'all are paying us this 'visit'.
Guess since I'm still up, I'm whats left of the Welcome Wagon for you. I'm just a gadfly around here. Tomorrow, before the sun rises, former inmate Churak is usually up, and will respond to any questions you have, I'm sure. A bit of a warning -- he has a unique posting style, but is certainly in a position to help you. He recently went through the Jailhouse reformation process for treatment of his own RB-style posting predilection over here on iHub, and since his release from the Jailhouse, he's turned into one prolific poster, and seems to have avoided Sheriff Matt's ire.
The ex-Warden of the Jailhouse is one Mr. Koikaze, and he makes a visit here every day or two. He's a good listener, and very patient, and he's very insightful. A great resource for you.
I see you've had the opportunity to meet WTM. Gotta have your thinking cap on when you talk to that dude. He's someone who listens and if he doesn't like what he hears, he tells you so, but always with a logic that can be intimidating. I know he doesn't intend to be that way, but Sheriff Matt can't do much about WTM. Hmmm, maybe you can...you know, fight logic with logic.
For myself, I don't know caca about gold mining stocks, and the only thing I know about placer gold is what the Park Ranger told me at Sutter's Mill and that phoney miner at Knott's Berry Farm when I paid $5 for the kids to pan iron pyrite. Maybe you could learn me a thing or three on the subject? I'd be much obliged.
Well, got to turn in now. I'm a bit of a late sleeper, so you probably won't see me until afternoon. But give Churak a post; he's the earlybird in these parts.
Welcome to the Jailhouse,
AKvetch (but you can call me AK)
