Welcome back. My guess is that good 'ole CNBC management decided that they needed more true "news" and less "commentary." Since most of the truly fun and funny stuff fit more into the "commentary" category, it had to go.

I agree that the "commentary" was nice regardless of the form. Sometimes the sarcasm made very good news points.

I'll bet that no one in CNBC management thinks much about the humor and lightheartedness on this thread or in the frat house for the same reasons that they busted it off the air. Guess that they were afraid that the guys and gals might get a little too playful from time-to-time.

If all we wanted was someone to read the telepromtper, we could all go back to CNN or other, equally boring stations. Personally, I want the commentary
