i'm off to europe for a while.

While I would happily stay and try to preempt Linc Energy's every move my wife has other plans, I'm off to Europe on a Linc funded holiday for three months.

I don't suspect I'll be back here on HC anytime soon and if the Exxaro deal comes through while I'm gone, and it better, I won't be back at all.

That being the case I hope I've contributed in some way to the forum and that you all do well from here.

A special mention needs to go out to Szaba, Dazed, Lory, Dicko, Al, Dan, Madrum, ML and imbiber for the exchange of ideas and the robust debate. I've had a great time and made a killing in the process. I hope you all have too.

Good luck, and keep an eye on OCG/AFC and Alter for clues to the RA story. It's going to be a big one.
