Thank you Trader Eric for that clarificication:
Quote: "John Doody was asked directly about Tyhee. He answered the question by saying that he doesn’t follow all the “dogs with flies”. He mentioned the lairs and holes in the ground and that for every venture only one in a thousand will become a mine." Unquote
I highly suspect JD was painting many of the juniors with the same brush even though the question was specific about Tyhee at the conference. I don't have much time for posting replies to other comments at the moment but will address what I can later.
In the meantime, I am glad people like JD, Dave Webb, Baires, Hysteria, Trader Eric etc. all take the time to verify facts for the rest of us. In that light, I am glad to read that the days of people posting under multiple aliases on Agoracom will soon be short lived:

Dear Members,
We are pleased to announce that AGORACOM will begin displaying a partial IP address of all posts made on and after Monday, April 26, 2010. The measure has been introduced in order to provide our community with greater transparency with respect to posts on AGORACOM. As a result of this new measure, members will be able to view other members who may be using the same IP address with just one click – and report any suspicious activity via the AGORACOM violations system.
HOW IT WORKS – PRIVACY INTACT
We want to emphasize that only partial IP addresses will be displayed in order to maintain the privacy of our members. Much like receipts printed out after making a purchase at a restaurant, only part of the IP address will be visible to the public in order to maintain the privacy of all members.
For example, an IP address is comprised of four sets of numbers and looks like this: 252.234.99.23. When displayed on AGORACOM, the first two sets of numbers will be concealed in order to keep your location/geographic information private. As such, the IP address 252.234.99.23 will be publicly displayed as XXX.XXX.99.23 to insure your privacy.
HOW IT WORKS – TRANSPARENCY
Using the above IP as an example, members that are suspicious of a particular member’s posting will be able to click on the displayed IP address XXX.XXX.99.23. The AGORACOM system, which keeps track of the full IP address in our back end, will automatically display any other members that share the full IP address. A match does not necessarily mean a violation has occurred but it will allow members to quickly and easily compare the posts of members sharing an IP address for potential multiple alias violations. If a member suspects a multiple alias violation, they can then easily report it via our “Report Violation” system.
We want to thank-you for continuing to make AGORACOM the best small-cap community on the web and look forward to any questions and comments you may have pertaining to our new IP address initiative.
Regards,
George, Paul et al
