Mining Engineering: Who is Here?

In summary, the conversation is about a person asking if there are any other individuals in Mining Engineering on the forum. They express their desire to know who they can address any problems to in the future. Another person responds saying that they are not in mining but offers to help with any problems regardless. The first person then mentions specific areas such as blasting, open pit, and underground mining and states they have books to read on the subject. The conversation ends with a lighthearted comment about the amount of books they have to read.
