Rebel, remember Opus-X is challenged. You wouldn't hit a confused child, would you? Best to ignore the jealousies of others for Robert's willingness to have a commitment to something other than the handle of a slot machine. I was considering requesting SI to have a name change to Silicon Trader instead of Silicon Investor, or allow them to decorate our screen names with an icon for Trader or Investor, and which icon would be determined not by the individual poster, but by an objective voting station where all SI members could cast their vote as to how they view that poster's contributions. There could be other icons as well, eg short, bull, bear, etc., and this would objectively signify to all readers what the general consensus is for that poster's perspective. Sort of like a tattoo which other posters affix to us. Of course, there could be a legend giving the details of the voting, as well, if one were to peruse the <profile> area. What use is a poster telling us what their profile is? What you read is what you get, no? I say we vote for tattoos to prevent wolfs' dressing up as sheep, and to better recognize the value of any poster's contributions. Regards, Martin Thomas
