***OT and Anita [TM]*** Jon, we should add that Caxton ran the MV Silver Charm aground [not watching the depthfinder which is what fundamental investors should always do] and our lives were saved by the skilled, suave and debonair [poetic licence] Captain Su. The tide was going out, so quick action was essential.

<failing to curtail verbal attacks against a certain trio he felt contributed little substance to the discussion.> That was NOT the reason for my suspension - it was because I used the word "Moonies" in a post, contrary to the instructions of SI Bob, which is a most terrible thing to do in the United States of America. Far worse than their unpleasantness, vulgarity, abuse, threats of violence and thread destruction. Heaps of people contribute little and just lurk. Fair enough too.

Also, I did NOT seek to have Anita adopted as the name [which sounds egotistically self-serving]. I had used that name way back in 1996 to identify my own WWeb intellectual property, which Qualcomm ripped off with the pdQ a couple of years later. But they were welcome to it because my wooden prototype was NOT performing to expectations. I expect much better from my Graviton Spin Reversal prototype which is nearing completion - [it does NOT use cats with buttered toast strapped to their backs to avoid touching the ground - cats always landing on their feet and toast always landing buttered side down].
