I think I understand the "spamming" policy now. In fact, I make no money from my web site. It's just a place where I gather all of my analysis, commentary, plots, etc. But I am not a long term member. I just joined. I thought describing the site was the best way to introduce people to my points of view, since the site kind of encapsulates my 14 or years of market analysis experience. I see your points about "spamming" methods. I hate it when I am on Yahoo Stock chat and I see users entering the "room" (often with a provocative nickname), posting an URL, then exiting immediately. That's not my intent by any means. I picked SUNW because I'm very familiar with the company, I think it's vision for the future is starting to lead the way (we don't need the U.S. Government to take over Microsoft--the markets will deal with Bill's excesses quite nicely, thank you), and at the present moment I love it's chart. And I firmly believe the market will post strong gains in the next 2 months. So, for all of those reasons, I made the initial post to SUNW. I just didn't have time to say all that about SUNW and my other current favorite "stocks" (EMC, CSCO, SPY, QQQ, FDEGX). I truly don't mind if the original post is removed. I didn't know the protocol at Silicon Investor. Now I've discovered the "Profile" feature, and I've put information into that. All in all, you were gentle enough with me. Nothing as bad as some of the market spills I've endured over the years!

I would have called the nuns on you immediately. Oh my, what a flash back. <g> John

QS: I did call the nuns on fuzzymath. When JCJ called him on being a spammer and fuzzymath tried to play innocent, he stated: "I have no intention to "spam"--... I have written lots on Raging Bull and the Wall Street Journal forums, and intend to do the same here." Message 12189299 I am a member of RB and checked. Fuzzymath lied regarding RB. He joined RB two days ago, Dec. 3 '99, the same day he joined SI. Fuzzymath has made a total of 4 postings to RB, all posted within minutes of each other early the 4th; all are the spams he posted here to 7 different threads early the 4th. Here's his RB profile which I am not sure if only members will be able to see: ragingbull.com Participation in WSJ forum? Since he does not use his real name here, it is impossible to verify this contention. Looking at the most likely forum given the stock threads he spammed here (and at RB), the most likely WSJ forum would be, "Tech Stocks Volatility". The last posting there was on Nov. 4 from some fellow in South Africa. The one before is on Oct. 12. Maybe he has posted to one of the others, but none of the other topics look very interesting to me. I doubt if these forum give much competition to SI, RB--or even Yahoo! SI is not a closed stock discussion site such that spammers are crying wolf if they use, as excuse, "I'm new; give me a break." One only has to join to post; anyone can read the threads. Whether here, Yahoo!, or RB, a spam is a spam, even if someone tried to wiggle into innocent territory via coming off as pleasant. In closing, his first posting to this thread, his first on SI, did not receive any replies. When I saw the e-mail stuff at the bottom, I did check his profile to see if it was a spam. It was the following day the spamming commenced. Lynn
