dear carly, simplification is fine but an analogy that tries to make a point with a 100% change in position relating to a 3% change in position is just plain dumb. The central issue of our dialog was my calling your representations that Mr. Lays sales of stock could be regarded as dumping or liquidation is really dumb.

I asserted your position was dumb and presented the data that shows a 3% change in Mr Lay's stock position. You do not refute the data. Now as to how I wish to regard PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH as the most admired man in history, that is a minor side issue. I express my opinion and you can use whatever polls you want and detest PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH if you want. That's all opinions. But the opinion on the actions of Ken Lay can be evaluated by what is shown in his trading history. I have laid out facts that show a minor change in total number of shares owned by Ken Lay and making a case that 3% that actual change is dumping or liquidation is dumb. Dumping or liquidation are your words to express an interpretation.

Now why do you digress on about most admired man, to me it's about you having no way to deal with the 3% reality in the data. So you look for some other issue to move to. You digress and then goto ... duhhh you don't answer my questions duhhhh.

Let us review where this all started.

And you dug yourself deeper and deeper into the poop pile.

As I stated originally.
Dear Carl, I will say that only a retarded person would call the trading pattern of Mr. Lay dumping stock. Or a person who is delusional or someone who is looking for any sham or lie to discredit a person and then by implied association attempt to make negative character implication against the most admired man in history.

It would now seem a retarded person or a person who is delusional or someone who is looking for any sham or lie to discredit a person and then by implied association attempt to make negative character implication against the most admired man in history.
