Hi KLP,

I am thankful for being a life member too..and to be honest I am glad I don't have to see the ad banners.....while I recognize SI needs to make money, I still think having paying customers is the way to go...though I doubt if they are getting a lot of new customers (would be interesting to know just how many new customers a month they are able to get)...

What I really don't understand is why haven't they made SI a subset of a much larger Message board. I think it was Pareto that recommended to the powers that be that they should license their message board technology or create their own additional message boards that will allow users to discuss anything they want in any language they want....

It would be neat to be able to move to other boards (non-finance related) by the click of a button and from a stock holder's point of view, the added exposure to the many people out there that post wouldn't hurt either...

Is there a one-stop shop message board out there today that handles any language, any topic..I mean the user can have the information displayed in his/her language of choice--perhaps even a translation of the text if possible--though that may be difficult it would be neat..???

Anyhow to get back to your original comments...I hope they continue to be profitable (by whatever means necessary) so that we don't have to deal with the ad issue...

regards, have a nice weekend (what's left of it)

Steve
