It appears to be a series of misunderstandings and/or misreads. my left field slant did pick up on a subtle hint . . Let me make this as clear as possible. I don't write between the lines. Please do not attempt to read between them. Other than that, Boyd. . .I have no problem with you or your left field slant. As far as your objections, I will let my last post stand on its own, as it covers them quite well. And yes, in music "less is more". Unfortunately, when conveying complex ideas to a mulitude of different personalities, less leaves too much room for individual interpretation. Being crystal clear. . . and covering every little base as though you were drawing up a legal document, seems to be the method that results in the fewest misunderstandings. Here's another little tidbit of info which may help you sort out motivations. A good number of the very best trader/investor/teachers on the net have agreed to become managers on Insighters over the past year and a half or so. So some posturing and/or promoting is bound to happen. It isn't hard to determine my motivation of late . . . making Insighters as excellent a place as it can be [it is an excellent messaging system with even more features coming soon]. . . .with reliability, organization, great service, the best features and getting the very best board managers available. . .ultimately over time having the best teaching and the best discussions on the net. . . and now that September is here, we will begin opening boards again and introducing new managers. So you may see more of the same action from me. I will grant you or anyone else this. . . if you ever wonder what my motivation is or whether I am meaning one thing while saying another or anything else, just ask. Many have done so. I am happy to answer your question to the best of my ability. Thanks, Rande Is
