Twister's "code" post wasn't a flame, or even ill-tempered. It was a reference to another "joke" post (of mine) that may have gone up before you arrived.

You do expect too much if you think the paltry SI membership fee will buy you a country-club environment. But I read the Yahoo message boards as well as the SI ones. If you do too, you'll have to admit there's a noticeable difference. Also, despite the sometimes obnoxious tone of the banter between the bears and the bulls, the SUNW thread IMHO is one of the better-behaved ones even on SI. Poke around SI a bit when you're not ironing and see if you don't agree.

they sure have lost their sense of humor and so have you.

flame? what on earth is that? i don't believe i've ever encountered such a beast!

Dear time4all: In order to enjoy the maximum benefits of SI you must stay on for some time and ideally participate in the discussions. You will learn from observation and participation who are the posters whom are reliable and whom are not. Personally, I think the SUNW thread is among the best that I follow and have several really outstanding contributors. Cant name them or they would get swollen heads (ggg) but you will discover them on your own in time.
Now, as to twister, most of us longs here look at him sort of like our Pet Rock!! He has proven to be our good luck charm as the more negative he becomes the higher and faster SUNW stock rises. We sort of LOVE HIM!!!
Good luck to you on SI and look forward to your contributions. JDN
