Whatever happened in the past is gone Wrong!!! The practices of that group of Kool Aid drinkers still continue. When they quit practicing their SELECTIVE censorship it will be "the past"...until then it is "the present". They ridicule people on any list that "THEY" control. If someone points out their attitude they just have Sean punch the unsubscribe button. It then becomes "the past" because they have effectively "shut up" anyone who disagrees with the master or the clan. So in effect they HIDE behind their unsubscribe button then try to make the "newbies/public" think they are oh so generous with their "secret" TA BS. Anytime anyone thinks they are going to hand out "valuable" information to the "newbies"(as THEY call them)is sorely mistaken. All they are doing with the "newbies" is stroking their "EGO". Monty

It's cowardly to hide behind the unsubscribe button, ManiacalMethod, MethodicalMadness, MethylatedMethuselah, MaddeningMethylatedMagicalMysteryMechanic, or whatever that screen name was. It's a bad mix: an intolerance of differing viewpoints and an itchy trigger finger at the ready with the unsubscribe button. Here on SI, there are no unsubscribe button privileges, so one takes one's chances with bloated TA pomposities, nonsensical ramblings, etc. For the cult disciples, there are the protected zones of censored, cleansed lists, where everyone is in delightful agreement on everything (on the evils of shorting at the height of the bull market, the uselessness of candlesticks, the magic of cardinal numbers, the heroic career of former Sen. Joseph McCarthy, etc.). As for Jonathan Huffington Grano-gull, I preferred the sequel, another 70s classic, Jonathon Blitherington Gadfly -- the inspiring tale of a fly that begins existence as a pebble in a shoe and gradually ascends through various levels of consciousness until it finds itself in Jonestown. Buzzing around the compound of the Lord of the Newbies, it finds itself at an enormous vat of Kool-Aid, where all the faithful have gathered. In steps the Jim Jones of TA. It's a thrilling climax, as the fly hovers over the sweet nectar, which is billed as offering TA, profits and freedom for all. Will it dip its wings into the tempting nepenthe? Or will it be swatted by one of the Lord of the Newbies' henchmen? I'm surprised the riveting tale never made it to the big screen.
