Glen we spoke before about a similar topic. If we lived in a perfect world life would be drab indeed. Let me explain why these off posts bother me and than maybe we can come to an understanding that everyone can understand and live with.

Off topic posts as a rule do not bother me as long as I do not have to read many in a line\, adn the internet traffic is not heavy so there is waits between reading posts.

At the time of my post the Intranet traffic was running over 99%, my ISP was over 99%, the internet was running over 99% and the talktechstocks was over 99%----all red! I just do not enjoy watching an hour glass while my computer is waiting to get access to the next post only to find that it is long and totally irrelevent to the subject. Add several more off subject posts and it really gets upsetting. I try to keep my time to a minimum on SI as a courtesy to others that would like to access it for information.

If the DELL or CPQ posts are informative and have an impact on COMS stock than post away. However going back and reading your posts I found many on other threads about DELL. I could not find one DELL post that directly related to COMS.

As SCRAGG noticed I have posted other comments such as this on several other threads. I believe that off subject posts take advantage of other peoples generosity and time.

Now that You understand my reasons for being impatient over these off subject posts, hope we can get back to the subject at hand and that is to make money. Thanks for your tolerance in letting me address this subject in this way.
