Allan: Re: "Gee, Justa, did I really take you out of context? Let's see. Here is what Silicon Investor says you posted this morning." No, Allan, I merely offered another option you did not entertain in your post. You told me one could act on Batman's analysis or mock him or do both. I gave another option and it obviously referred to my original post. Funny you did not include the entire sentence you referenced. Let's read the entire sentence together: "Another way of acting on Batman's analysis is to ignore him and do your own due diligence and purchase timing decisions. I am surprised you did not think of that one." Now let's read your response: "Good advice, Justa. It was not my intent to exhaust the possibilities of dealing with Batman's latest ideas, but in the end, your suggestion set out above would be at the top of my list." So, if you are right, Allan, and I was "writing" Batman "off" all together in that post, then it would seem that you were in agreement with writing him off too at least at that time. Now this cannot be true as you said Batman offers "damn good analysis." So it seems that you must have understood the context of my post this morning only to forget it later in the day. Well, whatever. It does not make any difference so long as you understand what I am saying now. Communicating in writing only can often lead to misunderstandings. Re: "I thought that you could have the last word on this'discussion.'" I always knew that I would not. Re: "[T]he lurkers are getting a bit tired of our tedious, yet engaging, bravado." Yes, I feel their pain too. After all, they are only here for the money. And I really felt their pain when you used the term "engaing bravado" to describe our discussion. Come on, aren't you bored silly yet? Re: "Oh, one last thing. Notice the condescending and demeaning attitude I have taken with this post." Really, I thought this was one of you kinder and gentler posts. Boy, I must have misread it just like you made a mistake in taking my post about Batman out of context. I guess we both can make mistakes. Re: " Not my usual style." Really, I would have thought differently after reading your post to Mr. Green Jeans about amateurs and professionals. Boy, I guess I misjudged you just like you misjudged my post this morning. My, my I did learn something tonight after all. Re: "But it seems to be your style lately, at least in dealing with me. So be it. But it's rude and offensive." Well at least I did not say your thesis was rubbish and get in your face. Now that would have been really rude and we both would never do such a thing. Re: "Not to worry, I still love you." I cannot express in proper words the deep affection I have for you, Alice, Grace Slick, Curious George, Lewis Carroll and all the amateurs and professionals lurking on this thread. I look forward to yet another obscure reference from you to a song or piece of fiction which will leave us all wondering and guessing as to what you meant if you really meant anything at all. Such references can lead to misunderstandings and may be interpreted as rude and condescending but will always lead to more "engaging bravado" such as only can be found in France.
