jc, On the contrary, I feel that I would be one of the least qualified people to be the gold expert. There are people here who are much more disciplined and who seldom deviate from the golden rule. Others think that they can ignore the rule and it shows in what they post here. As this my help some, here is a refresher on the Golden Rule. ------------------------------------------ The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim, ethical code, or morality that states the following: One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. Religion is an integral part of the history of this concept. This concept's framework appears prominently in many religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, and the rest of the world's major religions. According to Greg M. Epstein, " 'do unto others' ... is a concept that essentially no religion misses entirely." Simon Blackburn also states that the Golden Rule can be "found in some form in almost every ethical tradition". ------------------------------------------------ Mervyn1650Lobo
