When we had the good fortune to attend Freewest's AGM in Montreal a few months ago, one of the great pleasures was meeting fguide and another poster that we don't often hear from - 2good2betrue. It was a very interesting meeting at that time because of the chromite that Freewest has as well as Noront and there was a real sense of excitement in the room for a lot of reasons. The one person that kept everyone on their toes was fguide. He asked a number of very pertinent questions and if he didn't get the answers that he wanted - he probed further. He was great. At the reception following the meeting he made sure he got to speak to Mac Watson and Don Hoy and he asked considered and pertinent questions.

We are all the better for the conversations that we have on this board in the most part - and while I could say a lot more on that subject - I just want to say that it is my privilege to have met fguide and I am truly honoured by his determined thank you every day to the posting of the House Positions. He shows courtesy and good manners and it's because they provide him with information that he doesn't have.

To those of you that flag him and me - move on, get over it and accept good intentions for what they are.

Thanks fguide, I appreciate what you do and here's to a good week ahead for all of us!
