Bob,

I appreciate your post about your partnership with Dave-- and the risk you *both* took, financially and professionally.

Edit: Please do not construe this message as being glib about money lost in such investments.

I don't think you're being glib. But I want to reiterate that the investment and trading partnerships under discussion here were not equally risky for both parties.

On top of this, there appears to have been at least as many requests (all made in private) for investments *in* friends as investments *with* friends.

May I coin the term "cyber-panhandling" and ask that you consider adding it as a TOU violation?
