I don't post often but I felt compelled to say something. I was going to say something in a private message as Ted and Don did, but I figured you'd just post it here anyway.

I don't find anything offensive in what Ted said to you. It's easy to hide behind the anonymity of the net and fire offensive salvos like you do with no fear of retribution. Many do it every day, but most who read their stuff realize how shallow they are and probably sit here like I do and just shake their heads in disbelief.

You seem to have a large ego with a tremendous chip on your shoulder. Do you really think anyone on this thread is impressed with your online "experience" or your past dealings with the famous? I seriously doubt it.

This is a thread dedicated to the critique of CNBC as Mr. David has said before and I don't want to take up any more bandwidth on an off-topic subject. I have seen him defend CNBC and himself under such attacks as yours many times before on this thread, so what he said to you in private and the reasons for it seem pretty legit to me.

Just a little advice....We have a world of people to fall in love with, yet some people choose themselves. Why not deflate a bit and take a some time to enjoy life.

What a relief! An entire news update by our lovely Alena Cho, without a single mention of either Her Herness's senate run or more useless information about a downed private pilot.

Maybe we will get back to important news (fingers crossed) in the updates.
