I would love to agree with Coach on this subject, but it is abundantly clear what these forums become when monitoring becomes too lenient. The Yahoo forums are just awful, for the most part, so few people who you can trust, and so much animosity and venom. Stockhouse is even worse (well, Canadians, you know...).

Because of the immaturity, poor taste and lack of manners, and in many cases, lack of any level of decency, of many posters, I think those that are inclined to turn the censors on a higher level, have a good argument.

If I see a post by Coach, I know what to expect (well-written, cogent, informative, potentially entertaining), and that's one of the points he makes - we can make up our own minds on who to read and who to ignore. Although we come to know those who we wish to pass over quickly, they are still extremely annoying, and referring back to my earlier post, I'm too dammed old to put up with that stuff, even to just click over it. Invariably, someone will engage with the disingenous types and it's off to the races.

Thanks to those who have posted so many articles and the like regarding the future of gold and the economy and financial well-being of the US. All of it makes sense - but whether the anticipated results obtain, is another story. As many have pointed out, things that happen often do not make sense.
