Looks to me like the drop in the price of Q has got everybody a little edgy...i couldn't believe the big fuss over Voltaires "hot dog" statement, and i am surprised at the "sensitivity" of the folks involved in this squabble..a little tongue in cheek humor will not kill anyone. I really don't know why people have such a hard time getting along... sincerely, john rocker

>> your patronizing is not serving you well. I guess I should be pleased; being called "patronizing" isn't quite as vile as being branded "sexist", though one of your gang did characterize one of my remarks as "vaguely sexist" last night. Either you're mellowing, or maybe you're just shrewd enough to understand that further unfounded characterizations of sexism will be recognized for what they are - a tool to attack and discredit male people you disagree with. Actually, I'm not trying to attack you, Poet, though I must admit I don't know what "ad hominem" means, so maybe I inadvertantly did. If so, I apologize, since I am illiterate in Latin. What I am trying to point out to you and your followers is that sexual politics has no place in investing forums. Would you kindly discontinue the use of same as a debating tool? And at the same time, I would appreciate it if you would quit "thread monitoring" my posts, or posting to me at all for that matter. uf btw, if you keep this up, some of the other folks you have accused of sexism may gather their courage and testify to this event. Then everyone will see how frequently you use this technique. Oh, I think Q will hit 158 21/64 by 11:00 est on Monday. Hope this will be of use to you in your options strategy. And as you insisted, I hereby note, the above is not necessarily the truth, just my perception of it.
