....recently on the Corel thread I was attacked by a person using a pseudonym for no apparent reason...

Ah, ha, Wisam, you have encountered the phenomenon I call "information highway road rage." On a highway, asphalt or electronic, people are anonymous, and permit themselves to vent the kind of hostility they would be reluctant (most of the time) to display in face-to-face encounters.

By the way, on S.I. posters on the $5 and under stock threads are most prone to road rage frenzies. Maybe that's because those stocks are particularly risky, to put it mildly. Corel falls into the $5 and under category, so, in future, beware! Or -- laugh at it all. Many of those road rage posts are absolutely hilarious (unintentionally, of course).
