Great to see all the good instincts around this forum. It seems this board knows something that Anonymous doesn't.

northvalue - thanks. I was beginning to think the trip report wasn't worth the flash in the pan - weeks of work, one day wonder and then gone. Didn't even get over 20 recommends - not that I'm not grateful for the ones I got. Maybe it'll be useful when we get news releases on Milestone and/or WG - which sooner or later we will. I am definitely expecting a good bit of news of various kinds over the next couple of months. Will be at the show as well.

Portee et al re: Avatar - guess I'll have to go see Avatar for myself. Good thing the atmosphere is breathable above our own stash of unobtainium.

$5.00 as a hinge-point, hmm, something good to think about. It may sound a long ways off, but something in our collective gut seems to tell us that Brian's 10 million oz. is at the low end of the curve. I just think and feel that this thing will work.

Without a doubt, wishing all here a very successful 2010. Thanks to everyone here for making this such an effective board. May all our patience pay off richly.
