<OT> Gerald, this will be my last post on the subject. I guess it all comes down to what one chooses to quote. To me, the salient part of that post was: <<. This will make real money for the smart trader/investor. My opinion only. I am trading/investing in RHAT.>> That is the part that you did not quote. When trying to evaluate any text, it is always better to quote the whole thing - selective quoting, out of context, can be used to support any conclusion. However, how one evaluates the whole post, depends on the individual. Some will see the worst they want to see. Others will see nothing noteworthy, or any opinion in-between. In my mind, I was trying to alert people to a trading/investing opportunity - that is why I posted during trading hours. I did not spam this on all boards. I disclosed my position (in case questions could be raised about possible bias). I think of these boards as a forum for people to exchange information, trading/investing strategies, trading targets etc. That is why I post here. I try to make a contribution. I realize that some people see these boards as having a different function. I am sorry, that you see it as an excercise in empty "bragging" on my part. But, to each his own. In any case, I will try to limit my postings to this board, so hopefully you will have fewer grounds for further attacks. You can continue your dialogue with djia10 etc. I'm out. You can have the last word. Regards, Morgan
