Everything you say is right on Gus. The pathetic truth of his pathology is that he can never part with his delusions because once they are gone he may still exist but he has ceased to be alive to himself. I believe he is emotionally stunted and lacks the ability, much less the desire, to grow up. What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth. Mark Twain And what is the only Constant in the Universe? Change. The stock markets, even tucked away in our remote corner of the Milky Way, cannot defy the Universe. The very least I can do is to be prepared for changes. With the immense contributions of you and many others in this rapidly evolving sector, that's exactly the way I feel - prepared. I thank you mightily compadre, Douglas

Gus, One more thing before I knock off. Then I'm done with the little shit. he keeps on coming back for more punishment Well, what he really wants is attention, and we give it to him, even if it is punishing. The shit-hood is tailored to elicit response and elongate contact. The exercise is called "Puke with a Flag Pole." The Flag is emblazoned with a gilded *ME!* on a field of green. The best remedy is to ignore him. If he persists in his pukehood others will do the same. There is one other fundamental facet of the encounter that I think you may have also appreciated. Geldfugger is playing Craps and we are playing Chess. If the game is intermittently interrupted by crude and rude cheers and jeers emanating from the Craps table, it's easier to shut the door than to shout it down. I keep forgetting that. Douglas
