Anybody just see the E*Trade commercial where the chimp and the two weird guys are playing "La Cucaracha" on the tape player for about 27 seconds, followed by the statement: "we just wasted two million dollars. What are you doing with your money?..." Not sure what to make of it--I own a piece of that two million dollars, just like you (w/exception of USMA)--but it certainly was unexpected....

Unless you tell the SI Webmistress this is going on, they don't know.

you guys would make great Gestapo officers. "offenders against the norm of civilized discourse"?? what is that? according to whom? "S.I. penalty box"?? "untermensch"? "traitors to the purity of the aryan race and civilized discourse"? this place is already in decay, because it's a paid site, and there are more lively places like Raging Bull and mighty YAHOO. add your penalty box and there will be noone left in here, except Go2Net executives talking among themselves. ___ "What surprises me, Scott, is that Silicon Investor is allowing this elementary school-yard behavior to continue. I would favor an SI Penalty Box where offenders against the norms of civilized discourse can be relegated for a week or two."
