Scumbria... "He obviously is not interested in privacy, in any sense." Scumbria, now I have you making my privacy decisions for me. At least you could ask for my permission. This is exactly what is to be expected from your type. It is insincere, tasteless and worthless and falls into the same category as most of your QUESTION posts.

Scumbria, Richard has used his web site to post SI messages from Dan. He obviously is not interested in privacy, in any sense. I doubt you you're qualified to say that he's "not interested in privacy, in any sense." I'll bet that there are quite a few things he's private about. Plus, the SI TOU say that you're not supposed to reveal personal information about people. If he was short, I have little doubt you would be doing every thing you could to get him off the thread. He wouldn't have to be a Short, just a bear! <G> My biggest problem is with people who won't provide realistic motivations. It's simply a matter of trust. Generally, I understand the motivations of the Longs (financial). But as I've said before, I don't understand the mentality of the Shorts at all, and I don't understand why someone who's a Bear would waste so much time here. I certainly don't waste my time on the threads of the numerous companies for which I have little or no expectations of success. Why bother? For me to do bother, I'd have to be getting something out of it. So I am suspicious of most of the things you guys post for that reason. What's your real motivation for wasting so much time here? Without knowing that, how can I trust the materials and statements you (the royal "you") post? That said, I don't like unwarranted pumping, either. And I abhor the incivility that's crept into this thread (and I refuse to get caught up in the infantility of the "he said/she said" blame game -- all sides are to blame). I would like to see everyone be clearer when they're posting an opinion versus a "fact" (whatever that may mean), admit when they make a mistake, and repond politely when someone asks for a clarification of something you said. I freely admit that I'm no poster boy for these activities, having succumbed to my baser instincts on occasion, but this thread would improve a lot if we all tried harder. In the end, wouldn't you like everyone to be more respectful of your opinions? Dave
