Midknight - it struck me that not many people visit this site anymore and those that do seem to live on essentially 1 thread!

skinny - No, No, No please don't stop your sterling work on here. Is much appreciated and more importantly 'Fred Free'. Watch the twat start posting now just for spite :O)

... I'll have a word CC -):

Please give Skinny your vote of approval and confidence
by saying: Come back, Skinny.
Approbation might do the trick.

If you want Skinny to put in the work, then I suggest all of you at least say good morning each day, which is only manners I would have thought... A few posts on Shares would help as well.

Midknight - I can easily post the news links/gold charts etc - I'll dust down the code.
