I shall do so this very evening, but first I have to go tell someone that I really do hear music on a particularly enchanting SI profile page and tell the saga of G. Elizabeth Carmichael to another. Oh, and I must go tell Janice the real definition of Pita. Soon, I promise. So, put the Chardonnay on ice, I shall return.

Once upon a time there was a BB stock named STNX (well, it's still around as evidenced by a thread on RB, but that's another story). STNX's plan was to connect everyone painlessly and seamlessly to the Internet with its ScreenPhone, quite the novel idea back in 1996. The ScreenPhone was to be distributed by field partners (FPs) via an MLM scheme. The FPs and the investors posted to the main STNX thread. Sometimes the FPs overwhelmed the investment discussion, so M. Scott Mayer, the MM for STNX, started a separate thread for investors only. Nevertheless, the FPs found their way to Mr. Mayer's investor thread and posted. This enraged Mr. Mayer and prompted his farewell, as reposted in the link below. Unfortunately, or, as it turned out, fortunately, Mr. Mayer inadvertently started the two quintex threads while attempting to post his adieus to the STNX investor thread. And, as they say, the rest is history. Message 539859
