To: iHubAdmin(Matt) (aka) SiAdmin(Bob)'s Lackey(Matt) . Hi Matt, iHub's gotmilk here :o) . Please Note: While this post doesn't have a carbon copy feature, please assume the following: c.c. (Matt Brown's) Unkel Bob, We did it! . Now Matt, . You did post a request on this thread, just after the change in ownership of Si, stating that BobZ is the Admin and that you wish to post only as a person with strong, but undislosed, to Silicon Investor (the company.) re: Member 4501412 Name: Matt Brown Member Since: 03/23/98 Company: Investors Hub and Silicon Investor [stop.] . ok, etc . Now i'am sure you remember my posts on iHub in reference to what i think the "Welcome to iHub/Si" should be eventhought you did state that you were unable to understand my posts :o) . ok, times two . In that Got-Milk-Speak, of sandwhich you were unable to de-code, was a thought of mine that people not yet paying members of either Si here or iHub over there would first try to get a feel of, (you know, "The Pulse") of what this I, for Investment, place is. So if they read the official Welcome board, or thread as its called here, what do they get? If today is an example, the I in Si might mean: (or) better yet, their reaction might be, as follows: "What the ****? I'am gonna "invest" in Trash Talk?" (aka) I don't think so, bye bye. . Now its clear that whether or not the markets stay the same, or get better or worst, is like predicting the weather :o) But either way the survival of investing message boards depends directly on getting the "strong investing" folks of type Dr. Zeev Hed and one today(yesterday) spoke here that wants a trandser to iHub, and probably a dozen or more or less i don't know since i don't trade and have no reason to travel those threads/boards. But the point is that as you and BobZ know, these few in number types will decide the health of investing message boards, and if the markets does any downturn then only one or two sites will survive, and the best chance they have is if they already contain the most of these strong investing posters. So, how many does iHub + Si have? Or better yet, how many are contained in RB, Yahoo, Fools and wherever else this type of investing discussions take place? Or to put it "Bottom Line" you and BobZ might consider a total "make-over" of Si & iHub to erase Trash Talking. BUT, i'am NOT suggesting a removal or "colorful" members like that just mentioned one that used the ESAD letters since to me this 1% of his style can be asked to be removed, allowing a unique & bright posting that brings out more than the square'ness of those others that seem to make the day long :o) And then thee are the types with unknowned styles like E. Charters, Graystone, Rarebird, o49r etc etc that can add without filling :o) like that sugar-sour candy or KKD or hot peppers etc (or) not needed but are really needed for some, and avoided for most. . The following thread here on Si might be good to use. . SI's TERMS of USE Enforcement Discussion Subject 53903 Replies: 13 Member Bookmarks: 5 Started By: username Date: Apr 23, 2003 . But then this other one to me is really where Si is now, and to me it stinks. The thread has less than 100 posts and hopefully BobZ cab read it all. . Terms of Use: Are They Still Enforced?
