Zeev,
There are two reasons I copied your responses but not the questions: [1] laziness, (Bob's 50 post reading thingie just makes it SOOO easy to copy replies); [2] I figured that Mish, (who requested the info), and the rest of the guys back here have all been reading you so long that they know when they need to go look for the context vs when res ipsa loquitor so-to-speak. (;
I don't think I've ever tried to intimidate anyone by categorizing them. Okay, I was a little sarcastic with that one poster today, but I thought his/her post to LG was downright rude, and besides, I think I made up for it pretty well in my next post. (Also, note that when really felt the urge to bust loose with some bitching, I came back here to do it, so that nobody would take offense. Let's face it, most of these guys are so cynical they make me look like Mary Poppins by comparison.)
I don't object to newbies asking newbie questions -- as a trader, I am still an infant after all. But I have to admit I don't have a lot of patience with people who ask questions in lieu of looking for an answer themselves. My father was a teacher, and whenever I asked him a question -- say, how to spell some word -- his first response was, "Have you tried to look it up in the dictionary yet?"
I should not have used the term "clown," partly because it is unduly harsh, and partly because it's not really what I meant. The truth is, I just miss the little cyber-trading-family we had here -- disfunctional though it may have been at times.
In conclusion, I'm sorry if I've been a jerk.
Your friendly lap-doggy,
augie |
