Hmmm, then why do I post... I gave some thought on this past few days. In the beginning, I started to post to learn about new technologies. The first one was xDSL, few years ago. Then during internet mania, to find out what's the next hot stock. In few instances, I've witnessed my postings did in fact influenced others and gained profit from it. So these were to influence and profit motive. Then there were time I was really 'hooked' on SI and internet. Postings on SI could be very addictive. Had hard time concentrating on works. It took a good few months to set my self free from the addiction. This was the time I get 'high' by receiving e-mails and posting from others. As a kid, perhaps I had an attention deficiency. Then I think it moved to "ego" period. Getting right calls on stocks and market would feed your ego. Especially if someone tells you, how great your calls were. Don't know where it will lead next. Wonder if I can honestly open up my heart & feelings on cyber space....
