Lee: 1. Figuring out who might have first pointed the finger, 2. watching the posts and PMs to see who supported my post and the abcense of only one person who did not respond 3. That it was his thread and invitation to join the thread. Wathcing who came ot my aid and the one person that did not made it pretty clear that I was no longer wanted here. Lee this makes me laugh. How many times did you come to my support when I was defending the old MDA thread and how many times did you PM me in support? ALMOST NEVER Now you deduce that since I did not support you, I am guilty of having your post or posts removed from this thread. I did not. I keep SI Bob bookmarked and he has removed several post on various threads as of late where folks where advertising their web sites. I believe because they had message boards as well. However, I am not sure of the exact reason and do not care. Several folks that use to visit this thread on a regular basis that posted links to their web site no longer do that. StockCharts.Com and IndexTrade.Com come to mind, I had nothing to do with that, did you? SI Bob would not have removed your post unless he decided it/they were out of line. Why he only removed your post from this thread, I do not know and do not care. However, now that you have posted publicly about your other post, if they are removed I suspect you can only thank or blame yourself. I am no longer hosting this thread, have you forgot. I became tired of defending the guidelines by myself. I finally came to the realization that disrupters received more support on this thread than I. A sobering realization, one that motivated me to stop hosting this thread. It really is that simple! Now because I did not support you this one time, on a thread I no longer host, you point your finger my way... When I made the decision to have my header and alias removed from this thread, I made the break clean. (Could not get the alias removed.) I no longer cared whom post or who does not post on this thread or what they say in general. My one exchange with you as of late had to do with your post about folks not being specific in their Market Calls. It had nothing to do with anything else. I felt then and feel now, that post was a case of the kettle calling the pot black as your posts are rarely specific. After that exchange with you, I made a specific call, which included stock picks. Any one who followed them could have made a nice junk of change. However, I received almost no response. Go figure! I have been trying to take some time off this past week, but just could not stay out of the Market as too many opportunities were on my radar. I will try again this week. I do not care if you post or do not post on this thread as long as you do not attack me, covertly or overtly. I will continue to read this thread from time to time and will post on occasion. This thread reads more like the Myth thread, as of late. Blame me if you will I do not care. I do not feel the need to further defend myself. I could post a negative reply and jump to conclusions as have you, but this subject is not really worthy of any more of my time. I will make no further replies to this subject. Regards, LG PS: If you really wanted to have a private conversation with me, you have had my email address for over a year. You wanted to accuse me publicly. Now that you have, don't bother with a private correspondence. Now that you have your publicity, I trust you're happy!

OT..Lee...whew!!!for my part you were always a joy to read and follow..you have so much to offer those of us with less experience and insight...remember however, no matter where you go there will always be someone to throw stones, to criticise, to dislike, to disbelieve,to challenge...don't let detractors push you around,especially since you're forthright and responsible...many of us would like to have the knowledge of the markets you possess...thank you for sharing it this far,...best regards...snake

Lee, ....Therefore I obviously am no longer welcome here and am removing myself. What horrid deductive reasoning! Unbelievable! This has got to be the first post from you, I can recall, that takes a series of facts the leads to a conclusion that is completely unsupportable. If I have this right... 1. You've identified that some readers [mis]interpret your posts as long term versus short term predictive in nature. Frustrating from a communications perspective certainly, but I doubt that there exists a thread on the net where this doesn't occur. If it were me and really annoyed at the misinterpretation...I might put a header on the posts, such as NEAR TERM MARKET OBSERVATION 2. LG started the thread and somehow owns it. While it may be factual that LG started the thread. The only ownership attribute that could be reasonably assigned would be to SI. 3. SI has a business perspective that would discourage the posting of your site's link. Makes sense. [The internet has evolved to the point where conclicts occur between free speech and free markets. Interesting evolution, since the vision of the internet was to facilitate free speech.] So you don't post the link...reasonable conclusion. BTW, is this the site folks are posting about? home.att.net 4. You have a large following of supporters and a handfull [to one] of non-supporters. To draw an analogy...I go to the shopping mall [A wonderfull mall full of lots of stuff that I want and lots of friendly and knowledgable people] and have an exchange with one sales person that is less than satisfying perhaps even ugly, so I decide not to go to that mall again. Pretty weak deductive reasoning. I can understand leaving the thread because you want to spend more time with your lovely bride or because you need to spend more time at your site or for a host of other similar reasons. But the argument that you put forward here in your post is pretty weak, IMO. Lee, if my post hasn't been clear...I'll put it another way. I have enjoyed your posts and see them of significant value and the large majority of members appear to agree with that assessment. It seems from the collection of your prior posts that on the balance you have received value and enjoyed the thread and most of it's exchanges. I would ask that you might reconsider your conclusion. jttmab P.S. You and I exchanged some thoughts on A/D divergence quite some time ago and I'm certain we both thought the exchange was good...I had to change my screen name for personal reasons.
