What a fantastic post, it makes great reading.
It is so refreshing to read several intellectually prominent contributions over several threads that you posted in. No wonder several members were posting expressing their happiness around New Years Day that you had
returned to the forum.

(More replies some other time, especially to JollyGood and amishmanish. Thanks for the fine discussion of this important issue! I think it is not merely a story from the past, but a key issue of continuing relevance to Bitcoiners, and to anybody who cares about sound money and financial freedom. That is why I opened this topic when I was a forum Newbie who had been actively posting for less than nine days.)
