I, for one, would be very sorry to see you go. You have always been a gentle, kind and poetic presence on this forum and you bring a balanced approach to the volatile opinions of many of us.

These forums can be hotbeds of anger, disappointment and frustration when the object of our dissatisfaction is not performing up to our expectations. Yet the occasional calm voice suggesting we look at things from a different perspective, which has often come from you, helps to change the dynamic from negative to positive. The events in the last few weeks with the First Nations were bound to come to a head and perhaps now we will see the proper rights accorded to their people. It looks positive to me.

We need the balance and I hope you will stay and help see us through. I, personally, think we will see much activity in the coming months and that Noront and other players in the Ring of Fire will begin to move forward in the development of this huge new mining district.

Wishing you well,

Maureen
