>While gee-whiz features are kinda cool at first, if they interfere, even in subtle subconscious ways, with any of those three functions, I don't like it. Exactly.

I like chronological myself but it may simply be what I'm used to. One thing I don't like about SI is that I usually feel I have to read all the unread messages in a discussion thread any time I read any of them. If I read a few then usually it will mark all of them as read, or sometimes it will mark none of them as read, it doesn't mark as read everything up to my most recently read post. Tim

today Dec 22 i'm at post 180 (Nov 20) out of 309 meaning... ... meaning my commints are 1 month after any facts, and it be about a week before i munch them to current, but my focus is the very recent changes at Raging Bull where i only post on two in-the-toilet penny stocks with one about a dime and the other now 2 cents :o( so these two Raging Bull boards may not represent the majority of folks at Raging Bull that deal with Nasquack & Dow companies with real earnings and growth potential. A few days ago the Raging Bull boards changed from what was a simple clean to a complex dirty, and over these past few days lots of posters on these two boards want to leave and go to another web site with Silicon Investor mentioned as a nice place but costly. Post 181 (Nov 20) to current post 309 may have already suggested this thought of mine. AOL has many paying plans. For unlimited usage, pay by year or month. Pay for the time you are on. Imagine if Silicon Investor had these plans, where today's membership allows "unlimited" posting, pay by month year or forever. But then also had a membership where you are a member with no joining fee and pay only for each post you do, like $1 per post. These people would have access to all the features that current members like us have access to, and there might be a minimum fee like $5 month if you don't post, meaning you pay for features available like view next 10 posts. If so then the quality and details would be well thought out so that many quality replies would be received, and if so that would cause the member paying for each post to feel that its well money spent. All that would be required is for this person to join Silicon Investor just like one paying now for a month year or forever, that being the credit card route so that spammers and not nice people like on Raging Bull are keep off. So join as a full member with posting privilages but pay nothing until you post and pay only for them posts. I bet this could generate cash like that saying "Bet you can not eat just one potato chip." :o) I have been with Si since 03/19/98, life-time membership @ $150 and only post off topic non trading stuff d:oug
