Alan: Re: " 'If what you say is true, then I see no reason for us to continue this thread." Disagree. The free, open and intelligent discussion of Bob Brinker's market analysis and related topics is sufficient reason to continue the thread. '" Go to the other thread then, Alan, or start one of your own. I put in the time and effort here to start this thread and direct it. I wanted to learn and have fun and help others. Your lack of respect and appreciation for my time and efforts no longer makes it any fun for me. Re: "To imply that the Internet sector was not participating in the current rally was a misrepresentation of the facts." Brinker said he did not see them participating and named certain stocks. And his point was that they were not posting new highs along with the market. And he was and is right with respect ot those stocks and I suspect most if not all pure internet stocks. And overall, he was right as the street.com index, for example, has not posted new highs in the market. You interpreted that statement to mean that he believed that all internet stocks were not participating in the run up. Well, you were right in that they have participated in the run up but they have not made new highs as Brinker has stated. So both you and Brinker are right in the context of your own thinking. So what is the big deal? Re: " Apparently I was just about the only one around here who cared. Perhaps others were simply intimidated by the thread's thought police." Maybe you are the only one around here with positions in the nets. Did I intimidate you Alan? I think not. You posted what you believed without any pit bull response on my part. Re: "As I recall, the whole concept underlying modern jurisprudence is rooted in the civil resolution of differences. But before we get to that point, we should welcome the exposure, not stifle it, of those differences so intelligent resolution can occur." Sorry, Alan, this is a thread on the internet and not some court room. I dropped my legal pedigree years ago. Maybe you should consider the same.
