drobertso, you said in part: "...hoser gets banned because he said he agreed with another poster that a another PP is likely coming....".
Not true. Actually, I didn't have a hand in either reporting or banning brundall or hoser, but I do recall reading a message on agora posted by hoser in which he stated definitively that Schaft Creek is a low-grade deposit without providing criteria to support that statement. So, that's why hoser is gone, and I'm not sorry that hoser is gone. brundall's banning I have to say I'm not sure about; I suggest that anyone who feels strongly enough about brundall contact agora directly; agora are usually receptive to suggestions and complaints of unfairness.
I hope that we can move on from this issue.
