Touche! Naw, never did play football. Was always reading Tolstoy and going to Wagner operas. You did score your TD in the LRW game; I'll give you that. But you wouldn't be saying, by any chance, that you got a teensy bit lucky pulling in that pass, would you? Any predictions for the second half? Will it play out the same way again even if the Tacoma guys work on their offense a bit? Okay, and I've got to ask--now promise to tell the truth--were you still short when the plunge came? Oh, I didn't think I was taking it too seriously, or personally. But I know I was taking it too annoyingly. I wouldn't have, had I guessed there was sarcasm there in those postings. Now good sarcasm, or even satire, that I can appreciate. And, I was kind of hoping you'd believe I was the real Hopsalong, but you've found me out. The real one was my father--Hopalong. We spell our names differently, just like you and Seuss do. Gotta' go

did a lot of research on LRW and called this short on the nose. The pattern was too similar to last year when the same breakdown hit at the same time of year. I made a killing then (it was LBOR at the time) and did well this year. Yeah, but too bad last year, there was no real problems, just false rumors spread by your type. Go ahead and laugh it all off, Seuss, but last year, a lot of good people lost $ when they sold due to the false rumors (don't worry, I wasn't one of the ones gullible to fall for that garbage). I do think individuals in this company mislead the public and that type of BS added to what I already had raises my ire. You know, I would bother asking what "misleading" has been going on, but I know your little game. I ask, you fail to provide specifics. Asked for your sources, you can't quite seem to offer them up. Asked for my sources (or just those of anybody else acting w/ integrity), I can provide them. Funny how that works, huh? That you can beat your chest and say you are right in your behaviour because of alleged BS on the part of the co. is just plain pitiful. It's called moralizing, or rationalizing. That you think you are fooling anybody w/ it is pretty darn funny. Whether you are buying into your own con or not is another matter, and as I'm not a mental health professional, I couldn't rightly say if it's an act on your part or actually a coping mechanism. Doesn't matter, it's sad either way.
