Sort of. I still contribute, but Poet decided about a month ago to run it herself. I actually find this easier and better--my involvement in SI feels more balanced and comfortable to me these days--running a thread is a part-time job It's much nicer being a contributor, you can post a lot anywhere you want one day, and then not post at all for a few days if you get busy! <g> BTW, I'm w/ Loffy on the leaps, although I will do it in my KEOGH so that I can sell them if I want. Still, I know a few people who've done obscenely well just buying leaps on G&K type stocks (and some others) and exercising them a few years later. I suppose a danger is the QCOM type experience--if you go from 200 to 60 your leaps go from very fat to very thin. But, barring a complete market collapse, I feel NTAP is at the beginning of a monster run, and as you point out, they are not given to hype (you note somewhere around here they won't beat the street by more than 2 cents). I.E. I don't think they'll ever have the potential for the psychological backlash that QCOM did. Even if the multiple on it is high.
