Jest wanted to let yall know (as I have said I would) that I have sold my entire position with ABFG. BEFORE the "bashers" try to make a big deal of this, let me explain:
Kowboy,
Regardless of the external pressures that might have assisted in your decision, I believe that announcing your exit is superior to simply disappearing in a cloud of confusion. I notice that my post to you, and your response to me, were your last communications before your announcement. Uncharacteristically, it seemed to me, you apologized.
When I wrote my thoughts regarding the online persona vs. the real person, I certainly was thinking about you. You are the most, shall we say, "colorful" person on this thread. However, I had not yet lumped you in with those who had abandoned all shred of the concept of truth. I have been watching your posts carefully, and noted the careful wording I have long associated with some internal discomfort and a conflict between what is being represented and what you believe to be true.
I had not given up hope on you, in other words. I do not believe that you will be "let off the hook" easily, but it is possible that, online personas aside, we might have been friends. Some of your decisions will have unpleasant consequences, I suspect, but I do not wish you ill. You will have, it seems to me, enough of such wishes from others.
