Nice to see you emerging from hibernation, Bryan. ;^) Don't want to overload you with new stuff, but in case you missed this: beta.siliconinvestor.com The post I cite at the beginning brings up a fairly important point, which I think may have been overlooked. jbe

One more suggestion for future expansion of the search function. I don't know whether this has been mentioned before, but I think it would be nice if we could search a particular thread for posts by a particular individual. That's no problem when the individual signs his/her post. But many people often do not. The search function does not pick up the name in the post header. Oh, yes -- and another suggestion, one that I myself made during the Beta phase. Please, please, a FAQ page, or at least an instructions page. Not everyone is terribly savvy about computers. (And some, like myself, are downright dense.) For example, not until quite recently did I know what the "posts by this person" search function was for. But once I started using it, I found it immensely useful (which is why I regret its disappearance from the New SI so much). There are plenty of features that people may not be able to figure out how to use, or simply do not use because they do not know what they are for. An "SI for Dummies" page would be highly welcome, IMO. jbe

It seems someone asked you some hard-hitting questions tonight and you iced her posts. So, now I am going to ask them and yes if it scares you that much you can ice my posts as well. It is a fact that Jenna has been calling people sociopaths and wishing people dead on planes and all kinds of other various personal attacks. It is a fact that she has been bragging all over SI about her rolex watches and diamonds and some kind of birdie in the sky mumbo jumbo etc. when going against Tony's trades. Of course that surely isn't a violation of the terms of use - just a matter of bad taste. It is a fact that there has been a Clash of the Titans (to use JXM's phrase) all over SI and Jenna has not been suspended. Although, now that the information is leaking about Jenna it appears something may have finally been done about it. She did not even get the "don't talk to or about" phrase that SIADMIN Bob loves so much as the Clash has been continuing for weeks. However, the real question is - does Jenna pay SI money for anything other than a membership? Btw, The ViperPoll has more page views than the SI poll so sayeth Cheeky. I find that interesting. Of course, the voting ratio is higher on the SI poll at this point. Alot of people are viewing what is going on with the ViperPoll.

WOWOWOW Saints Preserve Us!!!!!! I am mightly impressed with such influence with GNET Message 10813070 Does this mean everyone can shout out and call people sociopaths and wish people dead with immunity now or only those with influence such as Jenna? Still waiting to see if you are willing to answer if she in fact pays money for anything other than a membership as is rumored. Viperchick, are you catching this one????!!!!!!!!!!! You asked people to leave you alone and you got the boot in the middle of a one week suspension and look what Jenna is able to do with immunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read my post while you can...it might get iced!!!!!!!!
