    Not meaning to lay a bummer on folks, but there is a very
    interesting and disturbing series of articles now running in the New
    York Times under the title "The Cost of Gold." It is too long for me
    to impose it on this discussion group unasked for, but worth a long
    look at if you can stand asking yourself the hard questions. This is
    no particular problem of this industry - those kinds of questions
    need to be asked by anyone - but I think it is helpful for us all to
    know where we are in the great web. Gold - beautiful and useful as
    it is, has a long history of leading folks down shadowy paths that
    they never would have dreamed of taking. It costs us more than
    money, that's for sure. 

    Take a look. You can tap into the N.Y. Times on the web.
