Dear georg

Best regards

Perhaps I am spending too much time typing it out or maybe it is too long????? What are parameters????

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

You have different ways of posting

1) Type directly in the reply

2) Type in a text programm, copy and paste that in the reply

3) Type in a word doc. Save in the PC, open a reply and add it under options as a word attachment

To see a sample go in games and riddles, see full story update with word doc.

Hope i was of help

Call anytime, glad to help

I think option 2 will help, test it

Good luck Georg

Well put Gordon. I like your comparison. I've had these debates with ellow counrymen on the nazi issue. It's often hard for people to understand, that those Germans who faught against Nazi-Germany were the true patriots and heroes.

Let me add this sidenote  Gordon. I sent Gordon a PM recently, in which I refered to him as a "Nestbeschmutzer", which describes what position he put himself in OM when making things public.

Dear Georg
See you have an interest in mineralogy. Me too.Apart from my interest in diamonds that is.Would be good to hear what aspect of mineralogy interests you most. I am mainly interested in rock hounding; collecting different types of sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks as found in situ. There is also a terrific gem outfit here in Cape Town which has a vast array of semi-precious stones and also rough mineral samples. If you are ever looking for specific minerals could probably source them there. Best wishes and kind regards.

Hi Gordon

I was collecting stones since i was a boy.

Nothing special just the beauty of it

Took my aprentiship in a steel foundry. There i collected the first real minerals from Iron ore to Chrome, Vanadium etc
All the spices used to make high quality steel in turbines

In SA i was enchanted by the beauty of the coloured stones.
Oranjemund then really made me collecting. Had the stones polished and on all visits bought a few in Nam and SA

See my Site on my Stones

Hey Gordon, you have just made frontpage of the Windhoek Observer, I have yet to see the article, which I will scan and post here, I got a phonecall from work to let me know how "popular" you have become again..... I am off work this weekend..... so will only scan it once i get back......

I guess the newspaper people are still trawling this site for articles..... now that the shipwreck has gone cold, it seems Gordon is now flavour of the month..... 

[Michael Alexander]

I could'nt wait, so I went to work and here is the article, frontpage and then page 8...

Dear Mike
Thanks for the Winhoek Observer article. Smitty is a great guy. Quite fearless and definitely not afraid to take on the bully boys of the diamond world. Will keep you and the site posted on developments as and when they occur. Best regards, Gordon

Dear Georgswa
Had a look at your minerals site. It is truly fantastic. It must have taken an you an age and humungous effort to put it all together.The pics of Oranjemund are quite magnificent.Wish I could develop such a site. Only really became computer user recently and have lots to learn, But it seems to have unlimited application. The more I use it the more I learn.Who knows one day I might have my own minerals site. Thanks again for alerting me to your great site.Best regards
