ALL 'Kookers', re: "Ice, you do have a soul - after all."
Well, I always thought he was a really great guy!
Anyway, since FIDO chastised our thread as a "private chat room" (on which I eloquently corrected him), our thread has been rather quiet. I'm rather distressed by this...to the point that we have even been talking about real kook material via private email (the COMS argument), I want to reiterate that this forum is for US to use. If Mr. Berg wants to talk about scorpions, or if I want to talk about the gloom and despair of our credit based economy, or if Herb wants to talk about gold, or if GM wants to talk about sailing, or if we even want to talk about kooks --- it's all fine here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So here's some real kook material:
check out what's been going on 'close to home' in the removable storage market: the SyQ thread
techstocks.com
which was in response to:
techstocks.com
And....basically, the whole damn SyQ thread has been a "KooK" poster child since about 6:00pm EST, Aug 4. Go check out the posts!
Now, if we're bugged enough about FIDO's comment that we have to discuss ACTUAL KOOOK stuff via email, I'm going to be really pissed that an outsider, who doesn't even contribute here, has this much control over our thread.
Fine, let's talk about Kook stuff. But there's a lot of real value in the OTHER STUFF, too. We learn about markets in general. We learn about gold, deinflation. We learn about discount brokers, dictionary references, and how to kill bad little critters. It's all good -- and it's a good break away from the drudgery of following every little one liner insult that comes out of some pinhead's mouth, or every "when is earnings" question from some idiot that hasn't seen the earnings button at the top of their screen.
So this is our 'R & R' area, and we must not let non-contributing dorks keep us from posting....and, Ice, if you want to post about OMEGA or even the weather in San Antonio, please do it.
Let's just keep this going for the benefit, Kook or not, of having a great meeting place. And anybody can join in because we're not clique-ish. I just don't want some idiot ruining the best part of SI for me...I want ALL the information that enriches my life, whether it has to do with investments, or koooooooks, or scorpions, or gold, or anything else.
Have I typed enough about this? Do you understand how I feel about this yet? Do vital papers show their vitality by moving from the place you left them, to the place they can't be found?
