Another collection, a letter from my hero, SI Bob. ------------------------- To: Jon K. who wrote (20) From: SI Admin (Bob) Monday, Oct 18 1999 2:11PM ET Reply # of 24 Having trouble telling if you're serious or if this is some really broad humor. I suspect the latter, but will respond with the assumption the former is the case... Who is responsible for checking the content of SI threads? You are. And as far as I can tell, you (collectively) are doing an excellent job, so I don't think any firings are needed. Jill and I don't actively monitor the site. We'll occasionally bookmark and read a thread when it looks like we should, but beyond that our role is to react to situations as they're brought to our attention. Just look at the filthy garbages in this thread and aren't you going to something about it??? Haven't read it yet. I'll read the whole thread after I submit this message, though. What is the difference between SI and YHOO ? Ouch! I am an SI junkie, can't live with out SI... I can relate. It's the reason I'm here in this capacity. Bob ************* Sunday, Oct 17 1999 6:36PM ET Dear Bob, Jill, Brian, Brad: Who is responsible for checking the content of SI threads? You need to fire that person, right now! Just look at the filthy garbages in this thread and aren't you going to something about it??? Where is the SI standard? What is the difference between SI and YHOO ? If you are not going to clean up SI, I am leaving. (scared huh?, no?, why not? oh no more vote please...) I can't believe you are not deleting this thread... BTW, when you fire that person, Can I have that job? I am an SI junkie, can't live with out SI... I better find a job on SI. you know, if you can't beat 'em JOIN 'em. I also have a plan to double SI paying membership in one year...

Well.. I quit for a couple weeks anyways g. It was tough. I noticed that when I'm out of the market, we rally and when I'm in, we tank. Very odd phenomenon... Actually, the time off did me good. It cleared my head and made look back on what I had success with in the past. (Trading my long-term holds). I can sit back now and not feel any pressure to get into the market (even after a late-day rally today, that made my trigger finger itch). Or sit and watch a position with no fear if it tanks hard. Good luck if you do take some time off... The market will still be here when you get back g I gotta get my life back... I thought SI was your life??? smirk Good luck man. OT - If the Braves can pull it out and I can find some tix somewhere, I plan on going to game 4 in Atlanta (if Yankees win). I had the chance last Braves/Yankess World Series to go to Smoltz vs Petitte and I didn't take it. Plus never been to a pro baseball game... Should be fun. llater, Tony B
