During these difficult days for our thread and begging the indulgence of the good fellows in this forum, I take the liberty of reprising a segment of post #4068. That segment attempts, however feebly, to offer a re-statement of purpose with respect to this topic.
A search of the archives at Silicon Investor reveals the dry bones of legion defunct threads. Let us hope that this forum-- now in its six- teenth month and having flourished, arguably, during Brinker's finest hours-- avoids that ghostly fate and continues to be emblematic of the best that SI StockTalk has to offer.
From post #4068:
"This thread has become a cross-linked feature of Bob Brinker's own extremely popular website at bobbrinker.com and is a frequently visited and well known site at Silicon Investor. Indeed, Bob Brinker's own son, Bob Brinker, Jr., a webmaster in his own right, has been known to visit here occasionally since the early days of the thread. That being said, what we are trying to do here is to preserve the health and integrity of this thread as a credible source of public information and guarantee this thread's continued presence at Silicon Investor as a stimulating, thoughtful, and relatively congenial place for the exchange of ideas spawned by Bob Brinker's weekend radio show. A place where a newcomer... will feel at ease and happily contribute of his knowledge, experience, and insight within the context of this Brinker inspired forum. This is the avowed purpose of the thread, and we cling to the notion that this greater mission is pre-eminent and is worthy of preservation." |
