You really were a bit of a jerk at the start of that, you know>>>

I really don't believe that ..

cheers, russell

Marcos, I came across this one day and I wished that I could have said it something like this to and about Larry;

<<<<I must wonder why this giant among enlightened men chooses to
consider little old me for more than a moment. He demands respect...but pays me none...constantly playing word
games with my handle. To Mr. RJ, I am the "Far Out One," the "Farfetched guttersnipe," etc. Yet, I will not sink
so low...he will always be Mr. RJ to me.

Frankly, I am flattered by his emotional fixation on me. After all, I am no more than a mere private PM trader,
educated in Economics at Yale, who found his vocation in the world of Hollywood. In the hallowed world of PM
trading, I am but a mere layman. What gives then?

Although he is quick to dismiss me as someone divorced from reality, his emotional post suggests that maybe I am
hitting some notable chords of Truth. Why else pay any significant attention to me?

You know, not so long ago, I was walking in Hollywood and I happened upon a well-dressed stranger who
proceeded to tell me he wanted to screw my mother and pee all over my face. My reaction: complete
indifference...I simply walked past him and quietly went about my business. I figured the man was a lunatic and his
harsh words did not deserve a moment of my personal attention.

That is the normal reaction to lunatics and people one perceives as "divorced from reality." Sheer indifference.
Yet, RJ is not indifferent to me, is he? Actually, he seems quite emotionally attached.

You see, when people make statements that you perceive will profoundly undermine your well-being, your
respect, your entire perspective on life, then the normal reaction is confrontation...often heatedly at first...but over
time, one learns to cast away the emotional handicap and rely entirely on pure, scintillating logical analysis. >>>
