<<I have to tell you that someone just sent me a pm critical of you after I posted that last message saying that I had never received any messages about you one way or the other; he said that he was looking to break my record.>> well, to be honest with you....if I do ruffle your feathers, I wish you would put me on ignore. I mean, why do people choose themselves not to put me on ignore, yet then try and engage me in battle and accuse me of war crimes that they are just as guilty of. I have never understood that. I think it is plainly obvious I am not here to attack anybody personally. It is so easy to hit that "ignore" button. Am I guilty because others choose not to do that, and instead try and goad me into a battle....and we all know that a peasant can't win a battle with a king or queen on their own turf, anymore then bush can win Palm Beach. You are correct...many, may people do the same things as I do, yet they will spin it anyway they want.....just like this damned election. Always two sides to a coin. I readily admitt that.Others have a problem admitting that while accusing me of the opposite. Like I said, the solution is so simple....put me on ignore if I bother you. I cannot make that choice for each indovidual, yet I seem to be heaped with all the blame because people can't make that choice themselves. This porch used to be a very special place. Yes, I do say that in past tense. yes, I do accept my part for it not being a special place anymore. I do not expect others will do the same unlessed forced to by the laws of the porch...and since they make those laws anway and anytime they wish, I expect to get as screwed as GWB is getting screwed.

<<If he fazes anyone else just because he gets despondent then it is the ones who get fazed who have to ask themselves as to their level of confidence in the positions that they have in their portfolios.>> Ya know, awhile back I mentioned to somebody that maybe my posts...my feelings made them think about their own feelings, which they did not want to accept......I was of course told I was an idiotic fool, but meanwhile, following that person, I saw how much $$'s they were losing...and each day that person would get more and more defensive with me. This year hit alot of folks hard. many chose not to admitt it or face it. regardless though, you are correct...if we are each responsible for our own actions, then anybody effected by me has nobody to blame but themselves. They can put me on ignore, they can choose not to respond or listen to me.....instead they chose to fight with me and force all blame on to me for things beyond my control....give me your passwords, and I will gladly go into each of your accounts and put me on ignore for you, if I could. Better yet, lets really show how free this country is and yall vote me off this porch...excuse me...moderate me off this porch. Too bad Bush can't moderate gore out of the election...maybe they should use the rules set forth here on this porch.

>>"Keith is a bit more vocal than most when the market goes down "<< Sorry, but I must adamantly disagree with you here. Had you said quite a bit, perhaps I could agree. IMVHO, there are only a couple of folks who are even somewhat close to the number of whining, complaining & gloom & doom scenarios. IMVHO, they do not run a close second to Keith. I doubt you could actually find two or three folks that are even close..... unless you use Daley/Gore metrics to in your assessment. Keith leads this category hands down & the pitch & frequency of these types of posts are what garners the occasional exasperated reply. I feel sorry for Keith & appreciate his right to post away. What I do not appreciate is the fact that he cannot accept reality & adamantly argues & indulges in personal attacks against those who have grown weary of the pitch & frequency of his whining, complaining & gloom & doom. In fact, I have a very high confidence level that my observation is correct. If he wasn't clearly leading the pack in taking things to an extreme level, there would not be many posts one way or the other on the subject, now would there? FWIW, this thread has a long history of tolerance, of lending support & encouragement..... why would this be an issue if he was but one voice in a crowd...... or among a select group apart from the crowd...... I submit that it is due to standing clearly out from the crowd & drawing attention from the crowd. Please correct me if I am mistaken on this issue. Ö¿Ö Tim@thenumbersspeakforthemselves.com
