Good Day to you all.

Thank you for your messages and for your participation within the AGORACOM Community. Several members have brought the topic/thread of the Vale Mining Strike in Sudbury Ontario. We understand that some feel the issue is of the utmost importance to Noront, while others find absolutely no use to it.

Please note that while the issue does have a certain degree of relevance to the Noront, we concur with Old Joe and his assertion that "we do not need to be kept up to nittritty date on every twist and turn, both reported in the Public Media, and otherwise. Thus from this point onward to the Eventual Resolution it would be good to learn of the Impact(s), REAL and Potential, for the Industry.".

We kindly request everyone use their best discretion when approaching this topic as while we don't want to stiffle debate, we neither want this to turn into a general discussion forum about the mining industry.

Thank you all again for your participation within the AGORACOM Community and for your understanding.

Regards,

AGORACOM
