Clappy! We are still here. There is still hope but we can not continue to put the fantastic people that are still on the porch through much more of this. This is the second time we have warned of a moderated thread. The information people are receiving on Bonnie I have had in my possession since she came to this board and it continues to pour in. I have kept it confidential and will continue to do so, unless I feel like it is neccessary for me to share with the board to explain our position. So far Bonnie, herself has made that perfectly clear. I would also advise anyone on this thread against giving out your name, address, phone numbers, E-mail addresses to questionable people....Hopefully you can read through those 2 1/2 lines. We would not in any way use a moderated board to eliminate those with differing opinions. Only someone trying to destroy the porch. We want differing opinions on stocks, news, etc. even friends of Voltaires can disagree. We should have had differing opinions on QCOM in the 1st quarter. Seems now we have a real good balance on QCOM. some like, some don't like. We need both sides. The person at this time (as in today) that is willing to help me the most and is probably more versed in the market than most on the porch is a person that was run off the board by Bonnie's actions. This person could be sharing fantastic information with the whole board but finds Bonnie offensive. You see Bonnie could be actually costing us all a lot of money. People don't want to be on the porch with her snapping at them. Why should they? If we have a moderated board even Bonnie can read but not post. Our old posts would continue to be here and we could change the thread header to read our New Location..( I don't think Uncle Frank would want to be connected to the thread if Voltaire were not here)....and post daily that we have moved. As long as we do not go moderated we will have the idea of Bonnie or someone else like her at another time hanging over our heads. Clappy you know I love the hell out of you, knowing you are a wonderful person and you don't know how hard it is for me not to go along with absolutely everything you ask. I also love you for seeing the other side. You are not a stubborn person and I appreciate you for that. You can see the other side of a story and I appreciate you for that. Everything happens for a reason and as it should. We are still here. Maybe you showed Bonnie just enough love to make a difference......we will see. Like I said we are still here and it will take about 10 minutes to set up a new porch. The ball is in Bonnie's court. I love you and all you have done in not only the humor dept. but also in the recent TA dept. What an addition you are to this porch. We need to get the family back into this family. I love you MAN. You are the greatest. Do you know any dirt??? Do you have a story??? love, dealie

Hi Clappy and Elpovito, I have not asked but two things and I asked this of Bonnie this morning. I hate too much dialog - 1. Just cut out the shockingly gutterish language. 2. Quit the personal cutting and insults. I also told her that any subject should be allowed but participation is not required. Not wanting to go to moderated thread, just don't want to see the valuable input of offended posters going elsewhere. appreciate your attitude, V

"It's quite clear that I'm in the minority here." Hi Clap. If you are in the minority here, count me in. It is people like BIA that as far as I am concerned make life interesting, whether you are in their camp or not, whether you agree or not. If it crosses the line between simple disagreement and outright unsavoryness, walk away. Isn't that what we do in life? Why not on the porch? How boring life would be (zero stress = death, correct?) if there were no John McEnroes, Jimmy Conners and the such that speak what is on there mind no matter what. I think that is called honesty...... Just one observers SHO (super humble opine) for WIW.
