It's funny how you read this board for a period of months and you feel you are getting to "know" the regulars. Even the avators play a part in how you try to read into the various personalities even though it probably has absolutely no bearing. You get a feel for the contributions and the work input. Some call the office, some have contacts with feild personnel, some have geology experience, others engineering, investment, corporate structure knowledge, etc.etc. Others just research the net and provide information and "whatifs" to think about. All in all, we have a very diverse group of people here that make up the NOT community. But we also have a pretty diverse personality makeup. We can see in the posts that some are impatient, some are wary of taking risks, some are intolerant of rants, others love to rant, some are protective and policing, some are all business. It takes all kinds.

This board has helped me a great deal with my NOT investment. I try to get some value out of all posts but thats not always the case. It is unfortunate that we have to let personalities interfere with the free flow of information on an investment but it happens because this board can be somewhat of an obsession. Derek is still part of the community just like MisFit is and I'm sure Rockaur is still out there. Keep the faith and keep posting.
