I only pick on him because he's such an asshole.

Some of the content of what he tries to say has merit. He just doesn't know how to express himself. Yet.

But here we have a guy like LeeLau, stokemeister, awesome skier, takes maggots under his wing in the W/BC bc and blows their minds. In every way a stand up guy. Plus one that walked away from a big bucks gig to follow his passion for the mountains and manages to make a decent scheckel anyway. Admirable in every way.

And yet mr_g finds it acceptable to call him an idiot because he disagrees with him on a point so complex there's no way to __prove__ it's truth or falsity.

And so with that, let us sail off into the sunset of out 5th summer of squabbling. I have a little boys 5th birthday to go to and in the streamers and cake and laughter, I imagine I'll think about my London pals who suffered and died on this day a year ago.

But I'll also think of deush nozzle.

Thankyou......

mr_gyptian.

I confine my remarks to:

1. Stock markets. Not financial markets.

2. Stock scam capitals. Not financial market capitals.

Either you misread my comments;

or

You misinterpreted my comments in a vain attempt to embarrass me.

If the former, then I would expect nothing less of you.

If the latter, then I am embarrassed for you.

your pink sheet exchange scams are a rounding error (no pun intended) in comparison.

I don't think Bre-X and $6 billion are a rounding error.

It was when they rounded the assays up three decimal points.

However, one might argue the difference between error and intention, such as, did the geologist error in falling out of the helicopter -
or was he intentionally thrown out?

LeeLau is correct re: Vancouver and stock scams. Seen so many shading dealings and securities cases.

WTF you think Barrings was a stock scam? Get over yourself Mr. G. I like how you don't even apologize and admit you were wrong.

Bre-x. memories.

That guy is still living down in the Caymans with his money.
