 I loved the part in large print about how it is the dollar, rather than the
 gold, that fluctuates in value (actually the real economic value of gold
 does fluctuate but, historically, not nearly as much as the dollar). Your
 explanation of what e-gold is and why one should use it is great stuff, but
 does it really belong in a tutorial about how to use the SCI? I would
 recommend putting the e-gold evangalism elsewhere on your site and focusing
 the SCI tutorial on the SCI.

Are you replying to someone's email?  Or perhaps commenting on some
particular web page?  If so, it might be productive to indicate what
message or web page your comments refer to.

  Forgive me for stating the obvious, but all value is perception, as

I believe you are the one who contradicts yourself.

 You [F. Marc de Piolenc]: but all value is perception, as there is no

 valu-er.
 
 Me [Goldlist Cynic]: Exactly right! ...

...

 Me: No, now you are contradicting your previous statement! We agreed
 that the market value of the stock represents the perceived value of
 the enterprise by under qualified valuers, not the true value of
 the enterprise...

I don't believe the other poster agreed that the perceived value was a
perception of underqualified valuers.  As opposed to qualified valuers who
presumably can see the true value?

It seems to me there is a lack of clear definitions in this discussion.
Since you agree that all value is perception, the term true value can
have no meaning (your contradiction I alluded to earlier), unless you make
one up and specify what it is.  It would also be useful to define 
perceived value, although it is not as critical since this term doesn't
seem to contradict the concept that all value is perception.

 A man approaches you with a beautiful stone and tells you it is a
 diamond and requests you buy it from him. You see it is beautiful but
 you are no gem expert. What to do? You ask a few friends and they all
 advise that it certainly looks like a diamond, and their friends agree,
 and the price seems right, so you buy it. $700 later and you decide to
 pop over to the jeweler to find out how you fared. Oh no! its a piece
 of worthless glass! Problem was, the perceived value was MUCH higher
 than the real value.

Either that, or the valuer simply re-evaluated after learning that the
seller had lied about the item being valued.

 ...
 You must give up everything you own, and in return you may choose a
 gift... 10 Billion in your bank right now... or Yahoo! (assume this
 person had bought all the yahoo stock and declared it no longer a
 public company)

Making a private company out of a previously publicly traded one changes
the value of it.  I don't disagree with your assessment of Yahoo, but that
simply means that you and I place a different value on Yahoo than the
current Yahoo shareholders do.

Apparently your definition of true value has something to do with the
underlying assets.  However since the value of the underlying assets is
also based on perception (since all value is perception) it would seem
that there is no way to discover what that true value is.  Unless you
wish to clearly (and somewhat arbitrarily) define the term true value.

I know the people who run 3PGold and I consider them of the highest moral

You might as well open an account and learn a little more about how they
operate, all without committing any funds.

 Also, I couldn't find anything about a storage fee for keeping gold with
them.  Does the commission paid to them on buying cover it?  Will they
likely introduce a storage fee when the service becomes more popular, kind
of like how new money market funds waive all expenses to draw clients?  

There is no storage fee in their business model.  They also do not have an
underlying storage cost to cover for you, as they would if they stored the
gold with e-gold.
