To: parker_meridian who wrote (47203 ) 1/24/2001 8:22:10 AM From: the Chief Respond to of 62348 As you know parker, I don't know you from a "hole in the wall". I started the less than $3.00 thread because of previous controversies associated with the puppy thread. I made up a set of rules that are also part of this thread in an attempt to "guide" the less than $3.00 thread. The truth be known, this type of thread is the hardest to regulate because of all the "self interest" and the ability to work a low volume penny stock. That being said, it snot your picks or your ability that was being questioned on the penny thread. Its your attitude, plain and simple, the rest of the thread "hates your guts". So even if you adhered to 100% of the rules 100% of the time, it appears that it was your personality that did you in. I can relate...my personality has got me into trouble many times. I presummed that you would not have cared whether you were banned or not, because you had already decided the rest of the thread were losers and you would start your own. I have no opinion of you, I don't judge other people. I was sent PM's once I drew notice to the fact that the thread was moderated, and asked to remove you becuae of your arrogance. Because I stated "majority wins" you were tossed. I have no ill feelings toward you personally, because quite frankly I haven't read any of your messages until they wanted you booted. Anyway, good luck with your new thread and I hope you make a tonne of money. In the meantime, feel free to retaliate and "ban me from your thread" if you wish. There should be some gratification in knowing, you have been the very first person banned from that thread <ggg> By the way, I never ever participated in the less than 3.00 thread, because I don't trade the stock group. So your accusation that its a "buddy" group, may be the case for the posters, but they aren't my "buddies" and I didn't ban on that basis. Anyway, as you say, SI threads are dying anyway. 70% of the time I get told "I'm replying to a message that does not exist, or I wait endlessly for the next message to come up, or I respond to a message and it dissapears into cyberspace. I strated these threads before Go2Net took over, and many people were interested in Daytrading, I had the time and it seemed like fun. I now have reduced my daytrading to "Winters only" and take the summer off every year, so I have to work twice as hard, which limits my posting time significantly. As a result, by early next month, you will find I don't post much on SH anymore as well. In the end "ya gotta do, what ya gotta do" Best of luck to you...and again, no "personal feelings" were introduced when banning you. the Chief
