PB <<<Often the posting here that is deemed curt is very entertaining, IMHO.>>> Yes, the posts can be entertaining but unfortunately what happens way too often is that boundaries get crossed and people get pissed. And then at times, the banter can so dominate the thread that more substantive issues are ignored or discounted. RE <<<The only reason I responded to Pravin was that I thought he was addressing the post to me, and it seemed like a big disconnect between what he was saying and what we had been debating. I must admit that it was so strong in its passion that I missed the reference to me entirely. If I had seen that, I probably wouldn't have even responded to it, and just chalked it up to a bad day.>>> I think this points out what I was saying earlier.....anger is invoked very easily on this thread. And as far as Pravin's anger, I can not speak for him but maybe he isn't having a bad day but rather is tired of all the negative rhetoric. Last weekend when I wrote some explosive posts, some people attributed it to my having a bad day. In fact I was having a great weekend and was not in a bad mood at all when I wrote those posts. But what I saw happening is that we were beginning to denigrate each other, not based on what we write, but rather on things like our intellect, investment styles, stock portfolio, income and even our sexuality....things which we could not possibly know about each other simply by posting on this thread. Since it has come to this level, I really question whether I should participate on this thread....not because I think I am lacking in any those categories above but rather because this has become an unhealthy venue for discussing AMD or anything else IMHO. ted
