Marc, I am sure you know, as a regular contributor to the G/K thread that you are, I am a subscriber to the ggame paradigm. The G/K thread has a very specific purpose, theme and approach that many find very valuable. Loss of discipline on that thread would be a great loss for my investing life and that of many others.
This thread is not a thread about paradigms. It is a thread about a company and, to a lesser degree, about the storage sector.
I try to contribute to this thread in that spirit. Many have done so. Through my efforts to illuminate NTAP on the G/K thread, many Ggamers have acquired considerable equity in NTAP. They monitor and contribute to this thread frequently. The fact that they came to the defense of me and this thread should not be confused with "protecting the 'thread elders'."
Attacks and counter attacks are all too common on SI. Just because a ggamer or two are involved in the counter tactics doesn't mean that "thread elders" are being defended. What is happening is that credible people, of which I consider you to be among, are being defended against inappropriate, non-productive, provocative posters by their friends and people who may themselves feel harmed by the provocation.
Thanks for your good words here and your contributions to all of the SI discussions that you join.
