chimney and Uncle Frank, My reaction to John Del Vecchio's post is completely different than yours. Frank, I can understand your reaction if you take John's point literally as he wrote it. I could be wrong, but I doubt that he meant that he never pays attention to people whose screen names are different from their real names. I believe that was delivered in the context of people who use non-real screen names and at the same time act rudely or in a fashion that they wouldn't act when meeting a person face-to-face. chimney, To find criticism here of a method of investing that does not tend to be in line with the philosophy espoused by the TFM is certainly to be expected. I think you're wrong on a couple of points. My long-term experience as a member of the Fool community leads me to think I wouldn't expect criticism just because the Fool doesn't see eye-to-eye with a particular investment philosophy. Moreover, Gorilla Game investing has significant parallels with certain critical aspects of the Fool's Rule Maker and Rule Breaker portfolios. In the context that you think that John "slammed" tekboy, I'll ask that you read his post again and reconsider. I didn't see a hint of that. --Mike Buckley
