People like David Lawrence, who is always bugging me about my grammar, (by PM) when in fact, the message eye post, the reader still will no exactly what eye mean.

lost and/or neglected dogs. just returned from lunch with my wife. a male german shepherd was wandering loose. he had toenails almost 1 1/2 inches long, a mangy butt, ugly tumor-looking things in his ears, and he was getting pretty skinny. he had a choke collar but, you guessed it, no id tag or dog license. but what a handsome animal. and he was so gentle. i had my own male shepherd in the van and so i couldn't load the lost one up. but i did stop, give him a nice big drink, some dog biscuits (i only had 4 with me) and i called the animal control people from my car phone. they had one report of a lost male. they gave me that # but i got an answering machine. i left my car phone # on their machine, but time was running out. i had to get on with what we were doing, and i was running out of options. old "lucky" was still looking pretty hungry despite the 4 biscuits, so i put him on a lead and walked him two blocks to the local zoo where i purchased 2 hot dogs for him. no mustard or ketchup. wow. they disappeared fast. buns and all. then i walked him back to my van where my wife was waiting in case a call came in on the car phone. nope. and animal control wouldn't even come pick him up due to recent budget cutbacks. the way i figure it, "lucky" (as i was now calling him) didn't have such great owners, even if he was lost. i could see that by the length of his nails. he was having difficulty walking. and what responsible owner doesn't keep a license or id tag on their animal? faced with dwindling options, i had to let "lucky" off the leash, to head back on his way. at least he got some petting, a couple hot dogs and some biscuits and a big drink of water. it tears me up, but i did what i could. i wish you well, "lucky".

Gee, SI Bob. Why is it that I somehow heard the Jaws theme in my head when I read your post directed to me.<g> I generally don't ask for people's heads or to have their posting privileges suspended.But if I ever do, I promise to provide you with ample details to track the offending critters down.<g> I imagine being the sheriff in our cyber Dodge can be a trying experience. In fact, I understand how it can sometimes be downright annoying......... mph

Open Letter to SI Admin Bob.. I apologize if any of my remarks might be construed as 'over the bound'.. Of course I only make my apology to SI Bob who has the unfortunate job to judge what constitutes an infringement of SI policy. This apology is only to Silicon Investor who is not responsible for some of their 'posters'.. I only would like to say I don't seem to see as many 'scoldings' on the real miscreants as I see on the ones being goaded, baited and led to slaughter. There were some fine people on the WAVX thread suspended and Pluvia came back to 'poke fun' and did the same on my thread when his WAVX happened to be down all of 3/8 on a very bad down day for the market. He goaded me along for days now and I do not offer an apology to him nor do I want one. I believe SI should have a panel of 3 judges and not just one who determines who gets scolded. I'm surprised I was not suspended but I expect that I will soon be since 'goaders and baiters' seemed to be allowed free reign. Well folks I am going to turn a deaf ear to miscreants and I suggest that SI put in an ignore button so we don't have to be harassed by these 'shorters' who hate us for going long and trading smart. I was personally attacked and I won't repeat what was said, I'm sure its known by now. I was not strong enough to ignore it, they got me on the day Kennedy was killed, while bringing back some of my own personal tragedies in that area. But I was scolded by SI for my rebuttal to the constant abuse from this group. It won't happen again, SI Admin Bob and SI.. now Silicon Investor can handle their pluvia's their way. I will have to take all the attacks that I'm sure will continue since they haven't been stopped, but I will turn a deaf ear and will never answer or respond to any of them and have instructed my thread to do the same.

I get annoyed trying to find out what name Impristine is using after he has been suspended for the umpteenth time.... I wish they would just give him his name back to save me the time looking for him.... it's like Where's Waldo!!! :-)
