to all,

i'm not sure what will become of the kry agora board should kry disappear into the restructuring wind so i'll say this now.

i've spent about 6 years now following the "days of our krys" and here's my summary both good and bad: overall i have to call it a good experience.

1. lost a little money - bad thing

2. spent wayyy too much time reading venezuelan papers (it did give me some basic spanish skills though) - good and bad

3. learned a hell of a lot about mining, geology, stock promotion, stock regulation, stock manipulation. - good thing

4. made some good friends both in real life and over the computer - very good thing

5. increased my ability to smell bullshit - good thing

the kry story also reinforced three age old beliefs for me:

1. "you cant con an honest man!" greed is not a good investment strategy.

2. never put all your eggs in one basket.

3. never trust the russians.
