<<SI dismissed as a cesspool >> SI is no cesspool! The site has developed into a damn good resource. That said IMO their image has been tarnished a bit - too bad really.

Hi Poet, I'm just trying to address the issues that are being raised here... and I see that Bob's thread is working on changing things. Yes, things can be improved, and every legitmate concern about the CoB should be cleared. Drawing conclusion here on iHub or SI is not fair. Obviously, iHub is more willing to make changes... However, I do share your view on how frustrated and hurtful to the posters whose posts are deleted... it's like not giving them respect or something... the CoB thing is not perfect, that's why they are getting input from everyone, and try to explain others questions. However... as you know, sometimes, people's questions are not constructive at all. There is no input, no suggestion, not willing to understand the situation, and plain bashing and off topic jokes. I suggest people to put in all their questions in one post in an organized manner. Make it easier to clear the smokes and mirrors, and easier for Bob to answer them. I do appreciate your options box :-) JMHO Bernard

Right on .. [to your last paragraph] ... SI will be around a long time ... for the deathWAG contest i entered the 12th of Never, because it just seems logical that current upper management who have been running it into the ground will eventually wake up to the fact and sell the operation to somebody who 'gets it' .... maybe back to the Dryers for 33 millions .... but italian lira this time -g-

I am getting very tired of seeing SI dismissed as a cesspool or a has-been website. It's been good source of learning and friends for thousands of people. Let's treat it with some dignity. Amen! I've learned more about trading and investing on SI than I have any other site: commercial or otherwise. Without question, this is the best, single resource available and the community here (warts and all) is amazing. Sam PS Love your thread Poet. I'm a lurker there. :-)
