Good Morning Apollo, Your post this AM hits the nail on the head. Let's get back to what makes this thread THE SINGLE BEST THREAD ON SI and that is our camaraderie and sharing of information. We are one big happy family here and like all other families there will be the occasional flare up. But we are here for the common good and lets keep this in perspective. Apollo, I believe there is a part of your post that bears repeating: As for me, JMHO, I respect what Uncle Frank has accomplished, and the very great time he and other Senior members have put in to make this a great thread. IMHO, I believe and respect the prerogative they deserve for the time they have invested. I think that the thread has benefited from Unc's usually skillful and diplomatic guidance; I think that with ever increasing numbers of threadmates, a little policing now and then is reasonable. JMHO. I support Uncle's efforts. I think there has been some over-reaction here. Let's move on. Nuff Said, Squire J

Thanx, Apollo, but to you and the thread, the way I look at it is this: I've been posting on SI since last February 1, and enjoyed it immensely. I don't get into flaming wars by public or private message. I don't have the time or inclination. I've got a lot going on in my life as others on this thread do and I don't have time to pour into reprimands, flames etc. I'm here to learn & make money, help others, and if in the process I make friendships, great. Frank feels that there are a core group of us who started posting on this thread, humorously dubbed the roundtable. I was reprimanded rather harshly by private message by him for simply saying "Go for it Poet!" in regard to her testimonial among all the many others. LindyBill, Chaz and Mike Buckley also responded positively to her post. Were they also reprimanded by private message? This would be quite important to know. I've preserved the privacy of the PMs between Frank & myself, per SI protocol, so there's nothing more I can say to convey the exchanges. They were unpleasant, and I have never before in my life had an unpleasant exchange with him or anybody else on this thread. There is so much to learn from many threads at SI. I'll keep the thread bookmarked and I'll lurk on it from time to time as it has much valuable information. As for you, Apollo, I'll be seeing you in Pineapple, Alabama! <g> Bye, & continued good investing to all Jill
