I have to post this one too. He deserves it..<gg> #reply-12159758 To: Anthony@Pacific who wrote (2077) From: Tastes Like Chicken Wednesday, December 1, 1999 5:33 PM EST Reply # of 2081 OFF TOPIC (Not about ADSP - click on past this if you are interested in the stock) Thanks for the note, Anthony. Let me tell you a little story if I may. I met a big movie star about 20 years ago. At that time, she was not a big star, she had just moved to Hollywood and was seeking her fortune. She was basically broke. My first impression was that she was haughty and arrogant. Only later did I learn that there is a difference between arrogance and confidence. She was not arrogant, she was just very, very certain that she would be a star. And she was right! Later on I had the opportunity to speak briefly with her again. She laughed when I told her I had originally thought she was arrogant, and had actually mistaken her confidence for something else. You can look over every post I've ever made on this site, Anthony. You won't see anything even remotely resembling some of the vitriol you have posted, not only to me, but to many other people. Even though you don't know me, you have personally attacked me on more than one occasion. You seem to have a strong propensity to judge people that you may not fully understand. That trait can work against you, my friend. Many of your posts exhibit some qualities that I got over about 35 years ago. You can make whatever excuse you want to about your snotty tirades, horrible spelling, and personal animosity towards anyone that does not agree with you, but I know where you are coming from, dude. I've been there. I've got the mended broken bones and scars to prove it, and I am not speaking metaphorically. I've been so broke that I didn't eat for three days. I've been involved in altercations where I woke up in a hospital, and I've looked at the wrong end of a weapon on more than one occasion. I've been around the block twice. Most of what I have learned, I learned the hard way. We are probably similar in this regard. One thing I know is that people will pay attention to you as long as you have something to offer them, and not one second longer. I very humbly and honestly suggest that you offer only what is best about yourself, and keep the rest off the Internet. I think you would be better off being totally professional in all your communication. Your petulant side is not the one you want on the cover of the magazine...and I suspect I'm not the first person to mention this to you. You may not believe this, but I have nothing against you at all. We share several interests, and I think we would have enjoyed talking to each other under different circumstances. And by the way, your statement "The smartest short will squeze [sic] the stock himslelf [sic]..." does not make sense. You may not understand what the term "short squeeze" means. Here's a definition that I didn't write, so you can probably trust it: invest-faq.com May all your short plays go down, bud. I'm outta here.

Did you read this one? Blue always has a good story to brighten your day..<ggg> beta.siliconinvestor.com To: c.horn who wrote (6694) From: Blue Snowshoe Monday, December 27, 1999 8:13 PM ET Reply # of 6802 c. horn, I think the buyer pays three bucks and the seller forks over three bucks to Priceline and a dollar comes from somewhere, I forget. Anyway Priceline makes the seven bucks. So here is my understanding of how it works. Let's say I have a old piece for crap that I don't want. Meanwhile, there you are just waiting for a old piece of crap to go up for sale because one can never have enough crap. So there is the match waiting to be made by Priceline. I give them three bucks and put out an ad that says that the piece of crap is for sale for $5.00. You say you won't pay a penny over $3.99. We both waste our time for a while and I figure out that I'm lucky to sell an old piece of crap for $3.99 so I say it's a deal. You now have to pay me $3.99 plus 3 bucks to Priceline. $6.99 for a piece of crap. But then I figure out that after I pay my three bucks to Priceline I've made 99 cents for my trouble and for 99 cents I'd rather hang on to my old piece of crap so I tell you the deal is off, I'm not giving you my piece of crap. Priceline then sics a high priced lawyer on me because they want your three bucks. I tell their lawyer to tell Priceline to pack sand up their a$$ and that my brother who is one of the better lawyers to come out of Loyola, is who they need to talk to until hell freezes over or I give up my crap. It drags out for years. I think that's how it would work for me. 909S2U, BLUE
