To: thecalculator who wrote (37613 ) 1/7/2001 11:36:11 PM From: chaz Respond to of 54805 Well, calculator, it's pretty obvious that you'd like someone to pay attention to your discoveries re MCOM, otherwise you'd have kept this wondrous news to yourself instead of posting here. Only problem is, you've missed the point. Mathemagician gave you some signposts about what we think a gorilla looks like, and you blew him off saying it's up to us to figger out what you've got to say. Sorry, we won't. You see, the rule around here is that if you think you've made a significant discovery that we've missed (some 100 or so of us looking full time), then it's incumbent on you to demonstrate that your discovery fits the mould we've all agreed describes a primate or royalty framework. The one way to present your candidate is in HUNT format because it covers all the bases, raises all the right points we all understand, and gives us a framework within which to engage in a usefull discussion of the candidate. If what you offer us makes sense (as a primate or royalty play) then the power of this entire thread would jump into the dig, and together we would learn more about that company than you might ever care to know. If it's got potential... or doesn't have a prayer...we know how to sort it out. You're just not doing that. Frank's told you nicely that simply pulling up a bunch of other posts and calling it research won't cut it. You blew him off too. That really surprised me. It was not your finest moment. So what's your problem? Either you've got a candidate or you don't. If you do, then prove it. If you don't, or can and won't bother, you shouldn't expect us to do it for you. New posters here sometimes get crosswise with the group because they don't have a clue as to what we're all about. You seem to have done that. To do good work here, you need to read the header, read the manual, and read a couple of the HUNT reports. You want our attention...then play by our rules. Don't want to do that?...then, well, TS. Chaz PS...BTW, there are a whole bunch of us here who are of Lindy's ilk . Considering the success that man has had playing this game, and he's not alone, you probably would be too.
