But I have found from experience that sometimes you don't necessarily get what you pay for.

I would be interested in your opinion. You can PM me if you would rather or regular email me. Or maybe I will find it, if I find your picture - Do you have it posted in your photo gallery?

I know that I posted a reply to your questions here just before I went to church this morning, but somehow the post is gone. There is nothing wrong with posting your source. Personally, I would encourage you to do so, even just to show that you're not making it up. Posting a website to promote it is another issue.

In my missing reply, I stated that I probably would interpret the statement in that description by Jon's website
the same way that you would. Just make sure that you understand that not all of that entire paragraph came from Jon. Rather, while the first few statements are Jon's, the succeeding statements are from several different owners of CA Gold. It can be confusing because the quotation marks are not always where the previous commentator ends and the next begins, and vice-versa. I suggested that you try to distinguish the between the various commentators and develop your own conclusion. That was how I arrived at mine, which I dared publish in these forums, to which I received some strong criticisms. I do still stand by them, until someone can come up definitively proving otherwise.
