In the past few weeks you've accused me of being a egomaniacal, sexist, racist, demigod (3 out of 4 isn't bad), and then in a post guaranteed to charm, characterized me as a stuffy old a$$hole without even using one of those grinie thingies. I've tired of your transparent disingenuousness, Bonnuss, and frankly hope you'll take your Bony Uss somewhere else. As far as I'm concerned, you're as welcome here as a case of flatulence at a cocktail party, and not nearly as excusable. UF, You're always so polite. Why don't you say what you really mean?

Hey Frank ... Wow, this one is truly a work of art. Extraordinary ... my compliments. In fact, I'm so impressed that I've printed it out to add to my personal collection of posts that illustrate exceptional technical skills and creative talent in that narrow but emerging field of investing message board flaming. Some day, academia will likely add such a course to degree curricula for journalism and marketing ... or maybe it belongs in a pre-law program ... developing BS-sensing skills; that kind of thing ... as well as toughening up the student for eventual courtroom battle ... development of a thick skin ... ATTORNEYS! Help me with this! How would YOU write the pre-law course description? "Cyberspace Investing Flaming 101." Credit: three hours. In a 'field study' format, this course consists of consecutive six-week modules beginning on the Yahoo! Finance message board system, followed by lurking and active posting on selected Silicon Investor Coffee Shop boards, which will be determined by the instructor. Prerequisite(s): Psychology 101 (Introduction to Psychology); Sociology 101 (Intro to Sociology) and Psychology 208 (Abnormal Psychology). ;) bia@wowtherewereabunchofrealcrankycursherethismorning.com ###
