<I know that most of you know KIS far better than I> Sam, to preface, I doubt you know me at all, but I have lurked on some of your threads over the years. I always find your posts informative and insightful. The fact that you have joined us (at least for a while) is surely a good sign :). You were gracious enough to acknowledge the above, and it is also a true statement. The folks on this thread are generally very level-headed people. Rarely do they resort to flaming or worse. By and large this is a cordial, supportive, informative and fun thread. Yet somehow Kis has deeply offended a number of them. I don't read that many of Kis' posts, so I am not the expert on him that some might be. But here is my take based on what I do know. Quite simply, Kis does not seem to respect people much. I see this in two ways: first, in his exagerating to the extent that many conclude he is lying; and of even more concern, in his often unprovoked attacks on highly respected and well-liked posters on this thread. Getting along in any group requires give and take. And I actually think that Kis is growing in this regard. I also have to admire his willingness to stick with it. I would have gone into lurking mode long ago if I were him. At any rate, I am hoping the worst is over. It has taken longer than most, but Kis does seem to be modifying his behavior somewhat to get along better with the group. If he continues to work at that, I'm sure everything will work out in the end. JMHO.

I do not agree with KIS or the Barrons columnist that the nets are 90% overvalued. But I defend their right to their opinions, as I defend your right to yours. That's what makes markets.<< So are you going to stick around Sam? Btw, nice going on Yhoo it's one of my favorites right now...

<<Can't we all just get along?>> Sam, you ask good questions. KIS brings out the worst in me--postings of which I am ashamed. I have never flamed anybody before in my life until KIS. Upon introspection, it appears that I have difficulty with KIS' incredible mixture of brilliant trades and unrepentant exaggerations and disrespect for the thread. Let me post a few links to give you a quick overview of the problem... 62012 62013 (I find the refusal here to retract the exaggeration to be remarkable) 62085 62869 62883 63120 63146 Can't we all just quit pissing each other off?
