OT Gary, if you truly want it to stop then don't feed into it. After Sliders last post to me he became persona non grata, excomunicato, and anathema - TO ME. Whenever I see his posts I click the next button. If he PM's me, the pm will go straight to the SI dumpster. I will never read or respond to his posts again. Does that mean I think Slider doesn't have first ammendment rights? No. But Andrew Brockaway, JimL, Post Patrol, and whoever have those rights as well. Actually it will only stop when the parties involved get tired of it or the Sys Administrators put a stop to it. I wonder who will get sick and tired of it first? Imo, Take what ya need and leave the rest. If you really are fed up with it as much as you say, why tell us? Tell the System Administrator. For myself - I'm done with Slider and the whole rotten business. To paraphrase Rhett Butler "Frankly, Gary, I don't give a damn" JMVVHO Thank you for your consideration. Ever your humble servant, 100% Grade A USDA Prime No. 1 Slider Free! And lovin' it! Bull

Andrew-In all sincerity, your style of writing is far more offensive than Slider's. Got to disagree with you here, Gary. No one is more offensive than Slider. Andrew's posts, while totally inexplicable, have one saving grace....they seem to annoy GrifterOnTheBlack so I welcome them. You want to see this thread return to a higher level and myself and a lot of other people here agree with you but there is one prerequisite. We need to get rid of a certain lying phony who's only purpose here is to peddle his cheesy stocks and tell everybody how smart he is. His disappearance would instantly elevate this thread and I can't wait until Christmas. I want my present now. techstocks.com John

O/T: Gary Burton and Slider, My apologies. Please understand that my last two post to Slider were strictly for Slider's benefit/enjoyment. Just having fun with words and writing style. I actually enjoy Slider's style - upbeat, informative and fun. Gary, I'm hardly new to the thread, I've been here from before the bottom of the cycle and have benefited from postings by all the regulars (Slider included). I've taken Slider's advice on many occasions. The truth is, I've recently begun to question Slider's integrity. I don't think people enjoy being criticized for following one of Sliders' "buy now" recommendations and then not trading in/out with effectiveness. The penchant for being "in my face" is getting old. Instead of saying something like, "shame on anyone still holding MEXP through the recent downturn," it would be better to educate us on how to play the volatility. Slider, many of us wouldn't even know how to get started.....# of computers, software, level II stuff, $ services. Don't have the tools nor the knowledge, so don't criticize us for not making all the right plays. Slider, no way I can follow you daily/weekly. I just try to find a few good "entry points," and then hold on tight. Okay, just so you know where I'm coming from, here's what I'm holding (entry point): FLC (5 3/8) largest holding, SDC (11 3/8), RIG (25), MDR (22 1/2), RRC (4 3/4), EEX (4 3/4), HLX (5 3/4) and MEXP (2 1/16). The only stocks I've been in/out of is ESV and RDC. From ESV at $10 I've made 5 moves (in/out); the most recent was a week or so ago when I sold ESV at $23 3/4. No, I have not enjoyed watching RRC, EEX and MEXP the last few days. Gary, please understand that I would never consider posting, in the manner I did to Slider, on a regular basis. I respect your comments and realize I shouldn't have pressed Slider in that way. My apologies to Slider. Hope I can make a positive contribution to the thread going forward. Sincerely, Andrew
