CpsOmis---I very much like your note and agree with your general thrust.Just a thought if I may--Maybe the way to proceed here is to simply ignore the whole thing. Slider being Slider does not appear to grasp that not everyone here takes his 'digs' with a grain of salt. My sense is that the way Slider sees it, much of what he says in the "one liners" are not -as he sees it-digs at all and are meant by him in 'good natured jest' (it is the paragraph diatribes that are another matter).. If it were me, I wouldn't be the slightest bit offended ('sticks and stones may break....')--particularly in view of the fact that the contributors on this board would more than likely side with you anyway and frown on Slider's more intended putdowns....Let me give you an example--If I were to start out addressing a note to you as "Cosmos" instead of "CpsOmis", I would of course be trying to be light hearted and intend it in good spirit. All that I would be trying to convey is that I have trouble tripping over the word "CpsOmis" as it doesn't roll off my tongue and I can never remember it anyway-so I have allocated you a nickname-----Like maybe some would prefer to call me "the Wave guy" instead of just "Gary"---Even in cases of intentional flaming, I would encourage you not to pay any heed. I mean, should I be the slightest bit offended by Post Patrol's views towards me or my reliance on Elliott? It is PP that looks silly here when he (they) act in this manner. I don't have to say anything as they make themselves look silly-So, I don't even give a NY second in taking what they say to heart and don't for that matter pay the slightest heed in what they may have to say (one ear out the other).,,If anyone here-(and there are a lot of candidates) chooses to make fun of my reliance on elliott as a market strategy, I well realize it is because they are unenlightened shall we say, the poor things. The last thing I would do is take it to heart, since I am comfortable with it and don't really care if others think it is voodoo. I would only become troubled if at some point I myself thought it was voodoo. Cheers.
