Hi, I see the exchange (I went back and looked). But I don't see how I changed history. You have every right to post what you think, lighthearted or not, but I don't see that Poet was trying to tell you HOW to post so much as making a riff on your acronym IMHO, which you had just defined, and defending her view of options. She put in gg, I think, (and I probably shouldn't speak for her) to lighten it up so you'd understand it wasn't an attack. By referring to your helpful list of acronyms, and asking, "could this have been what you meant" I think she was being gentle. It could seem different to you. There's a subtext here. It's been frustrating for both of us that we highlight your G&K thread (which is still, I think, probably the best general thread on SI) in our header and we can't get you to put our sister thread in your header...even though yo'd prefer options are discussed elsewhere....although I was pleased when you put it in a post last week. We're all trying to learn from each other here and have very different strategies for doing so (thus the arguments on our thread about relative risks of buying and selling puts for instance).
