<< I am not in Tim's private room but probably could go there if I wanted, I think that I am in good terms with Tim. I can only tell you that I was never asked not to post and I doubt very much Tim would ask something like that from his aquaintances.>> SInce I said I thought that Tim might have asked people in his private site not to post here, why would this apply to you since you say you are not in his private room? <<IMHO you and Jake have taken over the thread on the principle that it is not "property" of Tim Luke but property of GNET or SI and that, therefore, you can post wherever you want. >> Taken over? Anyone who is a member of SI can post on any site that they choose to. Tim is the only founder of a site that I have seen,who ever considered it to be his personal property. << You guys did not have the courage to start a new thread but thought that there was some sort of audience, emotional capital, inertia, click$, what-have-you, related to this thread (which, IMHO, there was and was a merit of Tim Luke, not merit of SI, SI-Bob or you).>> If Jake and I and CJ and whoever else want to post on this site, we are free to do that. What is your problem with that? Old habits die hard. << Now you have discovered that the thread is quasi dead and, LOL, your deduction is that it is Tim Luke's fault! It seems as if your logic goes like this: "when this thread rocked it was not Tim Luke's merit, now that it tanks it is Tim Luke's fault/conspiracy".>> Where did I ever say that it was not Tim's merit when this site rocked. Please don't put words into my mouth. Obviously, the site is quieter since he left. << I think Tim Luke can be thankful at you and Jake for managing such a savage contrast for the "before and after" of this thread. I can only hope you can start your thread, on your terms, and that you are successful at it.>> I am not trying to win any popularity contest like Tim seemed to want to do. I come to SI to discuss stocks and other investing subjects. I don't have a fragile ego that is connected to how succesful a thread I can start and run. Actually I have started several threads here, mostly on individual stocks. Some are still posted to, some aren't. Tim saw fit not to let me in his private site, because I made a remark about his hypocritical behavior here. He or you have no right to tell me or anyone where I can or cannot post on SI. Now, please run along and be a good boy.
