Lawrie, AOL may not be your style, but if it works, fair enough.
For you are thereby free to do the things you want!
Are you familiar with the "quirks" in this web sight yet?
I'm guessing you're not, so I might save you some time here.
For instance:
If you click on "your" underlined name above, it will take you
to "your profile". There you will see the places you've "posted
comments". Then try poking them, and it sends you around to
those places you poke. Just hit the "back button" each time
to get back to check out the other places you've been as well.
Though you're welcome to do that to mine, Please understand
I'm gambling with my credibility at the moment for good reason.
Reading my posts can cause you great pain. <grin thing>
You'll find others much more rewarding and beneficial to look at.
But first, try one more thing. Press the underlined number in the
upper left corner of the message. This sends you back to the persons
post "any message you happen to be reading" is responding to.
(hope I haven't confused you yet)
************
[OK. now to more important things.]
Armed with the above skills, If you make a bookmark of this:
Message 3244859
,or just poke around it now, you will be pretty much "in the thick
of it" in the least amount of time. "some key people, here",
their methods of operation, threads they communicate on,
will give you -a much better perspective of The Silicon Investor
than I ever got for months-. [A good vantage point]
Unlike myself, "These people know what they're doing here."
(Is that worth a few thousand shares? <G>)
*************
The "<G>" stands for "Grin"
"<VBG>" stands for "Very Big Grin!"
"<LOL>" stands for "Laughing Out Loud"
(These are ways to let people know you're "saying this with a smile")
Also: (To go back in time?)
Even if S.I. only shows you the last 7 days of posting, you can
go back to any group of 100 posts in the past on big threads
by poking the appropriate number. For example, try typing
"mohan" in the S.I. Search Engine ( and poke "Subject Titles Only!);
Then select from the results:
"Ask Mohan about the Market"
You will see this to choose from:
| Start | 13900 | 14000 | 14100 | 14200 | 14300 | 14400 | Last 7 Days |
But poke "start" (above) and you get this!..
| Start | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 700 | 800 | 900 |
1000 |1100 | 1200 | 1300 | 1400 | 1500 | 1600 |1700 | 1800 | 1900 |

So, if you are three people with some time on your hands,
the entire "Mohan Thread" can be at your disposal.
To relax and "learn some more about posting", go to the
search engine at the bottom of this page and type in "HTML"
(for some tricks you can use to dice up your posts" on that thread.)
However S.I. is limiting the use of HTML on posts greatly.
bold and italics and the combination work.
(maybe you can still get some colour in as well.)
Here is the way to enter some "odd symbols" in your posts:
Find the symbol you want at:
december.com
for example, this one..... c
I did the copyright symbol above by entering these 5 keys without spaces:
"AND" "NUMBER" "ONE" "SIX" "NINE"
(for heaven's sake, Lawrie, I'm learning while talking to you.
I never have entered symbols before like this.)
Also:
There may be times you will desire to post "Tables".
Figures tend to get scrunched up and unreadable unless
you check the [USE FIXED FONT] feature when you
submit the post.
.....Then, you can even:
write
like
This!!
Hope this helps you save time here,
knowing yours is a commodity.
Though we have the ability to follow each other, You certainly
won't be judged for posting elsewhere; after all,
you have paid for membership. ....On the other hand,
you won't mind if we smile when we notice through your excursions
" Lawrie is becoming one of us ", will you.
For Resistance can be quite futile! <g>
Ask us lots of questions too.
In ending:
I believe you will enjoy communicating with "Brad", "Dexx"
and "others" on this thread, and come to consider them
well among the finest people people posting here on S.I.
as i recently have.
