Jill I have to disagree with you some what on this. Back on those times people weren't on the brink of losing everything or had lost everything and laughter at the cost of no one's hurt helped lift up our spirits as many needed it. Now is a time under completely different circumstances and joking(and I don't take it for that at all and no one else did) about the market in a very negative way as some have, is not a laughing matter! I cut up on here more than anybody,but I've said publicly and in PMs that I don't mean to hurt anyone at anytime and I stand by that! The point being that there is a very thin line here and that line when crossed is like pouring salt into an open wound! You know I'm not the brightest guy in the world by a long shot, but I do know this is a time to be serious and compassionate! I've lost a lot of money in the last two weeks and I'm positive others have also and none of us cast rocks at others for this. You can be lead to water but you can't be forced to drink! I think Dealer has every right to ask those to leave that can not be compassionate in these times as Gammer & Steven were and are! Besides from the response these two brought on themselves, Dealer is not the only one wanting to be a bouncer. P.S. I'm not trying to be an AZZHOLE just trying to keep the Porch the last of safe havens right now. The market is volatile enough we don't need any turmoil. Thanks, I hope you understand where Dealer and many many others are coming from. I enjoy you thread and don't think you would put up with this kind of negativity over there either. Coonaz
