So Kirk, let me ask you something: What percentage of the time do you spend talking about your successes, and what percentage talking about your failures? Most of the time I only seem to hear from you about your successes and Brinker's failures. During that portion of 2000 when you were behind, did you change the focus of the advertising page for your newsletter from YTD results to results since 1/1/99 in order to portray your work in a more favorable light? Playing down one's own faults and playing up the faults of others is a near-universal human failing. You are acting as if Brinker invented the practice.

He will talk about the market when it is going his way and it is very entertaining and often educational. That's right Kirk, in fact he uses those opportunities to blast other analysts and "gurus" among others. He constantly makes fun of others while crowing over the supposed watermelon smiles he has supposedly created. The swallows are coming back to roost. I think they've taken up residence. I think we'd better order out to Starbucks for a couple more pounds of coffee. Sorry about all the mixed metaphors and analogies.
