Hi ATM,

Thanks truly....I know there are a few out there and I agree with your sentiments re: posting.

What gets me, not just with EXM but with alot of 'popular' HC threads...and always has mind you, is this felling that it is ok for any single poster to 'contribute' by saying something like, "patient accumlation going on here I think, this will hit XX by XXday" and that is the entire post.

Now, 99 times out of 100, this poster (not pointing out anyone in particular - could be anyone of several thousand HC members) get awarded with daft shields for volumes of posts (all much the same - zero content) and often get a myriad of thumbs-up!!

Keep in mind also, that 99% of these types of posters (especially to respect to mining and exploration Co's) have zero experience with what this type of Co. actually does, ZERO experience working within the industry and are literally posting falafell!! But, this type of CONSTANT bleeting is rewarded and seen as a great thing and hailed as a great contribution by the masses. FACT!! Just scroll back thru the EXM threads for the last few months (as an example).

So, in wrapping it up.........it is a fact that I have 'no heart' and although I have been an active contributer to HC for over 10 years, my postings are relatively and excessively few. Never had a 'shield' and never intend to post that often that I get one. As for the thumbs-up...good initiative by HC management but a little annoying at best....and awfully misleading in the worst case scenario.

Cheers...and again...good fortunes to all...no matter what your investment style.

Regards.
