Hi Somchai,

Thank you for your kind words and let me say that I read and enjoy every post on this board.

It seems to attract a variety of informed people and on most days will provide something interesting for everyone.

I agree that freedom from ignorance is very positive, but without the freedom to broadcast what you know, does not enrich you or others, imo.

As you will no doubt see from my posts, I do not post much about ECU as I find whatever anyone needs to know, can be found on their website and updates are covered very promptly from others much more informed than myself.

However, I believe that the reason most are involved in PM 's is because of their lack of faith in FIAT, their disgust in what they see happening all around, and their desire to protect themselves from the ignorance and stupidity being displayed by the leadership in government and other "elites".

I try to post info. to help keep everyone informed of what is happening that in one way or another affects the PM market place (and I believe just about everything political, financial etc. falls into that scope).

I hope everyone keeps posting intelligently and look forward to lots of interesting info. in this coming year.

And remember, no-one is always 100% correct, and everyone needs to be understanding and patient when replying.

Do it gracefully as if you were answering yourself, and most of the bad feelings towards others will disappear.

Good Luck to all!
