Abbi,

I suggest that you repost at least the informative part of your excellent post on Tuesday morning. I fear many might miss it on a Friday evening, heading into a long weekend. Your post should not be missed. I think you friend's comments convey the magnitude of this opportunity, but he does not lose sight of the fact that the play remains speculative, which is important for most everyone to remember. (I'd really like E2 to be the kind of result that removes almost all doubt about making a mine.)

As far as the "traps," well, that stuff goes with the message board territory, and most can spot the insincere posts pretty quickly, and for those that can't, many others are willing to share their suspicions. Makes for some ugliness at times, but it's all part of message board mechanics.
