Herb, that one was new to me, quite funny! I went sailing today and have not looked at the threads yet (I did look this morning). Of course the first thing I checked was IOM earnings. :) That ought to shut some people up - but probably won't.
Oh, >>throwing the baby out with the dishwater<<
Shouldn't that read 'bathwater'? (no reply necessary).

Herb, when it becomes too odious, just take time off and spend it on
a hobby. I, too, found a steady diet of thread surfing can be harmful to my mental health. I have even begun to skip some, because the header indicates they might not be worth reading.

The few rules the kook thread has produced help me deal with posts
that would otherwise be upsetting. Now I consider it part of a study in human nature. Sometimes I'll jump in where I don't have to: I do
favor the underdog, the naive new investor with a 'stupid' question
and hate it when someone puts them down.

Enough rambling! I'll read the old IOM thread first.

Regards Gottfried
