<OT> First, let me apologize for the tone of my previous posts as I was (and still am) mad at ETurd for stiffing me on all NINE* IPOs that I've applied for since they went to their Lottery method of allocation. Under First Come, First Served I received 10 of the 12 that I applied for. However, let me refresh your memory on the message I posted that has caused this ruckus (yours in italics, mine in quotes): #reply-10911332 I don't know if you guys remember, but I told you when Red Hat IPOs it will be HOT, HOT, HOT. Well look at it now - just came out, symbol RHAT - already up by several hunderd percent. "Not to be insulting, but that took about as much insight as saying that the Sun will be hot and bright at noon in Phoenix." Now, ignoring the fact that I meant my message as a jestful ribbing (unfortunately I left out the smiley), the key phrases of the portion of your message that stands out to me is "I told you" and "Well look at it now". That sure looks like bragging to me, especially the "Well look at it now" part.
