I conversed with Ellen occasionally both pre- and post-RMIL-meltdown and though I won't go into the pre- side, I was pleasantly surprised to find that long after RMIL was gone (in the trading sense), she had become a far wiser, very pleasant person.

Outside of and far removed from the vehement chaos this thread represented, she was a person whose acquaintance anyone would be glad to make.

I won't go into the details, but her attitude was one of a person who quietly accepted that they'd been had, and rather than being bitter about it, resolved to incorporate the experience into future decisions.

The difference was so great, I once stumbled onto one of her posts in some thread I was reading and submitted it to David Z as a Cool Post nomination (I don't remember if it got included) and PM'd her about it and something to the effect of "Awright. Who the heck are you and what have you done with Ellen?" We had a short, friendly exchange after that.

Ellen reinforced my belief that there are really very few "bad people". Most people are "good people" and if you think they're "bad", it's really more a matter of the situation in which you find them and how they choose to react to it.

Ellen, you were a good person. It was a sincere pleasure to have made your acquaintance.
