Gregg, I've been an SI member for years now, and I agree with you. CNBC generally does a very good job, and I don't think that adding levity to what can be a very dull subject is such a bad idea.

Dear Greg, >off color comments and in general keep things light when the market is turning to slop and sometimes a good laugh can help when margin calls are wiping out hard earned gains in tech stock and internet portfolios which six months ago were 40% higher and the future looked much brighter.< I'm happy for you that Squawk Box's off color comments and Kernan's perchance for back ground noises are helping you cope better with your stock losses. However, some of us who are watching CNBC so as to make profitable trades find the antics most unprofessional and time wasting.
