I'm not Fred. Not Barney either. Stumbled in here after checking out several gold and silver forums. Most are pretty dry and boring. My other internet networking is mostly all in business forums on Linked In, and I have to be on good behavior there, as I go by my real name there. I was finding this group a little more to my liking because I'm personally more Libertarian rebel than conservative or liberal. Then, some folks decided to dump on me by assuming I'm someone from their past. Funny how stupid some people are when they're trying to look smart to their peers. Anyway, I'll hang out here a couple more days before I decide if I want to move on. Some discussion forums do become cliques and gangs. I'll see if this one's any good or not...
