OT or maybe not.

Gary: I recommend that Slider and BigBull read your post. Not so much for the content, but for what it shows about you. Taking credit for your excellent call, while at the same time matter-of-factly saying where you were wrong, shows us you are mature and secure enough to be open and honest. Also I don't remember you ever criticizing anyone.

Slider, IMO your enthusiasm and at times your erudition is unmatched on this board. But I may be wrong, but I can't recall you ever admitting you made a miscall (read took a significant loss). Also your occasional need to "go after" Big Bull and others may manifest not only a scarcity of compassion but at times a measure of meanness. Not that BigBull hasn't taken his shots also, he has. The above is meant for him also.

Overall this board looks like a prayer meeting compared to some Yahoo boards. But perhaps it would be better if we thought of each other as human beings, who all, at times, can be geniuses or goats, and who are competitive (testerone) and too often critical. I personally have had a few real losses in life that make my 5 figure loss in FSESX today look like just a bump in the road. Take care all. Wman
