A moment of silence, for one of the greatest of SI... (I do not know if this profile has been placed here before or not, as I have not been "around" lately *g*.)

One of his great contributions to SI
Subject 20640
A thread where many, (myself included), learned much from his knowledge and insight about the business of trading and investing.
I always enjoyed his posts, as not only posted with knowledge, but he shared it doing so with fun and class.
The responses from others to his departure...

It is my opinion that SI lost one of the many great contributors due to policies that perhaps have not been entirely "on the level" (in matters regarding the old versus the new format, including issues regarding advertising and the idiotic "ignore this poster" feature).
So, in closing I will quote one of my favorites:
"I believe, and have often argued, that the battle of ideas should be international -- that it is idiotic to expect any one country to offer hospitality to every imaginable sort of man. I do not fit into the United States very well. My skepticism is intolerably offensive to the normal American man; only the man under strong foreign influence sees anything in it save a gross immorality ... if the notions of the right-thinkers are correct, then such stuff as mine ... ought to be put down by law ... free speech is too dangerous to a democracy." [Letter (NYPL); to Burton Rascoe, Chicago Tribune, 1920.]
