post as if they know everything, and it goes without saying that they don't (they are even willing to back up this plenary knowledge with smart ass retorts to mere opinions or observations). There are others who post their opinions and back those opinions up with facts, and rarely get into it with others. The principal poster of the latter type is GWR1, who I thank again for sharing his insight into the company and the industry for our benefit. His arguments and logic are consistently very solid, which adds to the impact of his posts, and he rarely gets down into it with the rest of us hens (also adding to the impact of his posts)!

Some absolutely wonderful days lately for PM's and ECU, makes for a good backdrop to the ball drop on 2010!

Good to see Pic on the board this afternoon, way too good a day for ECU and silver for him to not celebrate some with the rest of us. I've expanded on that in a pm to him.
