T, I've never been kicked off a thread by SI, but I've been told to reduce my postings on the Dell thread. Since I was only answering notes in my Inbox, I found it odd that Bob the Knob decided I was the problem, and not the 50 people sending notes to me. It is true that many of these threads are cheerleader threads and a few are even one-man idol worship threads. If you ask obviously cruel questions, such as, "when did you make that prediction and is it in print somewhere," then you are obviously a non-believer. However, I do sympathize with some, as folks will post here asking where I said something on this thread, and if it more than a few weeks back, well, it is buried. But I don't tell them they're stalkers. I simply tell them to go back and read 82,000 notes, because I'm not gonna do it. I think being called a stalker is better. <VBG>
