grinder965,

Re: Totally OFF Topic except for Thread Rules. - Thread regulars skip forward please

*** OT *** << eric, ... Actions speak louder than words. Look, listen & prosper. quack quack! >>

I would cordially like to ask you to reread the thread header.

Subject 36035

Your post to me has no Qualcomm content, is off topic, and "quack quack!" is a flame, however mild, but since you and I have never corresponded on any thread, ever before, I take it as a flame.

Your previous post to me. suggesting that I am short Qualcomm, is an absolute insult, even though you qualified it with an <LOL>. People who correspond with me on this thread, have corresponded with me on its predecessor (S&P 500) and before that on the "Coming of Age" thread, I think will tell you that. That however is not an appropriate discussion for this thread so from here forward if you wish to pursue, please take it offline, or elsewhere.

I have been a member of SI for 3 years, post on a number of boards, and tonight is the first time anyone has ever remotely suggested I short any stock. This despite whether or not I agree or disagree with their point of view.

I in turn am violating the rules of this thread by being totally off topic, and most particularly I am violating the rules by ignoring the final rule in the thread header. I choose, however, not to "ignore" any poster to this thread, because there is a lot to be learned here.

If you want further discussion post to me on the unmoderated Nokia thread where there are no rules, or PM me. *** EOT ***

My sincere apologies to regular citizens of, and contributors to, this thread, for this totally off topic post. I realize this should have been addressed by PM, but I sense we are wandering, so chose to point out that this thread has rules for a purpose.
