Theme song to Clockwork Mauve, wasn't it I thought the Purple People Eaters were the defensive line of the Minnesota Vikings back in the seventies. On the other hand I remember this line from a song when I was a kid: ou ee ou ah ah bing bang whalla whalla bing bang ou ee ou ah ah bing bang whalla whalla bing bang For some reason I associate that with a group called the Purple People Eaters but I could be wrong. If I'm wrong about the above I'm sure they must've written the theme music for the movie "The Color Purple" or the spy movie "The Hunt for Purple October." Tom

iHub needs some bing bang whalla whalla bing bang :: Thanks goes to Tom for a memory lane trip :o) of The one-eyed one-horned... Purple People Eaters ou ee ou ah ah bing bang whalla whalla bing bang but ... of the Minnesota Vikings not true since Minnesota is a land locked nation, and them People Eating Vikings traveled on boats having a People Eating Monster at ship's hull prowl'ism. or is true since GPGI's ThorN on Ignore speaks language of France with a American Minnesota accent. also, "... what are we going to do with [iHub's]General Mining" "... demote her to private or what ... i thought..." first, I'am sure a low ranking officer rather than enlisted is better, and also, iHub sounds masochism so having folks like Claude + Liz + Russ + ole49errors placed together create a high level pleasure & pain and draw folks like WWF does :o) The "why" its hard to get folks to leave and go and do a change'ing is better replaced with talk of what could influence "for a change." Simple facts layed out might help, as follows. (1) Those like Russ, Claude, Liz , and it seems lately that just about everyperson who posts on Russ's It My Party thread have that which is needed to fully qualify as the types of knowledge that others need in this hopefully gold bull just-starting market. (2) Those mentioned in (1) do not need another thread, but playing to their ego and advanced look-ahead as Russ sometimes does when he adds off-topic material like the bio-tech he is also investing in, that yes he could allocate time to another thread-or-web if he can see a risk-of-time versus reward-of-investment in a positive. So as these folks need not a duplicate of Russ's thread, if it was created on iHub and enough NEW folks joined, as in IHub folks, not Si folks, then yes another similiar thread or board could be worth their time to include themselves. (3) This gold bull, if real and if it really stays and gets strong, then yes lots of new folks will "come on over" simply because it will be where making money is at. ok, Now all that needs be done is first change board name, simple to draw in folks, using words like BIG MONEY. So you can create another board with name as, Gold Bull Running - Quick & Easy Money To Be Made with, iHub gives each of about 10 - 20 current active posters on Russ's thread a free lifetime full membership if they will post on above board. This would work if gold does continue to increase and goes above $350 and keeps going. Key here is that new people, those not on Si, but only on iHub WITH a few having extra information of a degree and depth Russ and others can use themselves. For sure some iHub only folks are equal to a Russ Winter. So, no way to get folks to leave Si and go to iHub, no way will they change over even if its better, and no way they will "also" post there unless there is over there in iHub something extra or additional to make it worth their time & effort. a.k.a. extra insight or get the recognition of a good trader and have the ability to create a new board and have folks follow you, as in bio-tech, where Si might already have a mature bio-tech thread(s) and iHub may not be fully developed, meaning stake-a-claim. d:oug (or) iHub's gotmilk
