Now ordinarily it would go without saying, but... if your ID is "Mr.Thinkster" and ironically you exhibit extreme difficulty in both "thinking" for yourself and in applying basic reading comprehension skills... it apparently just doesn't go very far at all.

I logged onto the YaHooHoo message boards after the market close to see what Mom & Pop are saying about the institutional "rebellion" over at the Ovshinsky Wonderland and Retirement Center.

Curiosity being what it is I stopped in on the RMTR board only to find that an unfortunate poster using the ID of "Mr.Thinkster" has taken to misconstruing and abusing several of my posts with a repetitive frequency that suggests to me some form of obsessive-compulsive disorder is at work.

Long ago it became clear to me that listening to anyone ID'd as "Mr.Thinkster" can be quite debilitating... and that talking to such readers who are unable to grasp the simple concept of CONTEXT is next to useless. However, in the highly unlikely event that a rational human being with a nominal reading capacity might suffer under even a temporary illusion that "Mr.Thinkster's" stolen thoughts bear relevance to RMTR's current prospects please let me say this.

The now ancient children's fable of The Boy Who Cried Wolf has several notable features in common with the current twists in our "Tale Of Mr.T:"

(1) The dysfunctional boy was "crying" a warning that he had copied from others... so has Mr.T;
(2) The dysfunctional boy used the "cry" in a completely different and inappropriate context... so has Mr.T;
(3) The dysfunctional boy employed his "cry" so often that its meaning was lost... so has Mr.T;
(4) The dysfunctional boy's "cries" all concerned a false expectation, which subsequently became real... and ate him up... Mr.T's "cries" all concern the "false" expectations of past revenue/earnings/market share/customer gains which did not meet his hopes/dreams for growth; and most importantly
(5) "Mr.Thinkster's" analogy to this fable will only make sense when current revenue/earnings/market share/customer growth expectations become real... and eat him up.

One can only hope that this clarification will soon resolve the obsessive-compulsive problem besetting our YaHooHoo brethren and sistren... among whom I noticed a few admirable new contributors who truly deserve better.

But if not! The earnings Tiger is just over a month away... and from where I perch... it's looking at "Mr.Thinkster" like he's a plate full of prime rib. <Hoo><Hoo><Hoo>
