<<If you feel like the question (What Steeny does for a living) is valid, then tell us all about yourself, your job, your real name, your bank balance.>> Oh how ridiculous......I don't see myself posting TA 5 times a day with lots and lots of people following my advice. If I did, I would expect people would wan't to know who they are listening to. I also don't believe I asked him a single PERSONAL thing, you idiot. A Job Title and a name of a firm he works for or is associated with is not personal. If I asked for his bank account info or his address, I would expect him to tell me to get a court order or go get screwed, but I didn't..I asked him very valid questions that somebody else asked first, and many others want to know the answers to as well. <<If Steeny turned out to be someone who carved passages from the Bible on the heads of pins, it would in no way change my take on the substance of what he has to say. Nor does he have any special responsibility to respond to your invalid question just because his posts occasionally have merit. >> I think it is very valid who somebody is...would you take the advice of refrigerator repairman to fix your TV set just because the advice sounds good ? Would you listen to the Maytag repairman tell you how to fix your computer ? Would you listen to the clerk at the grocery store tell you the market is finished correcting and is fixing to blast off??? Or better yet, what if you did listen to the grocery clerk tell you that, only you didn't know it was the a grocery clerk...you thought he must be some financial wizard because it " sounded good ". Now, I am not saying Steeny is a grocery clerk, and I think it is readily apparent he is not. My point is, there is a reason we have something called full disclosure. You also say he has no responsibility to respond to me......No, not on this thread he does not. As far as whether he is legally liable to offer full disclosure remains to be seen, because we still don't know exactly what he does, or for whom. He very may well be legally responsible to offer full diclosure, and then again, he may not...that is not my point. I simply feel, any individual that offers as much input as he does and with as many people following him, has a moral, if not legal, responsibility to be as forthright as possible. How come when others that offer regular TA on this thread have been asked the same questions, they have HAPPILY replied. I know many of the respected posters on this thread, and they know me. Not screen names...personal info...they know what I do, and I know what they do. I have nothing to hide from anybody. Much of what I do for a living tends to intimidate peole, so I don't make a habit of publicly telling people all that much unless there is a reason to do so, but I also don't hide behind any walls.
