And I'm not about to kiss Frank! Your intensity is probably matched by his relief. bb~

< For the record, I support anyone's participation in this thread, including Shannon's participation, as long as it's consistently polite. You will remember that I invited the thread to openly support the general tone of his posts and anyone who writes similarly toned posts. Yet that invitation has received a very underwhelming response. Accordingly, I have no immediate motivation to change the nature of my participation in the thread and I have no reason to back a moderated thread.> Mike, I have been reading the very, very long discussion on my favorite thread concerning impolite behavior. I completely back you and am sorry for not responding sooner. Your above statement could be condensed into a line or two and put in the thread header. I know it seems silly to even consider having to state the obvious. Everyone here likes debate and is encouraged to do so as long as it is civil. Unfortunately some don't quite understand the respectful part. And as Thomas suggested let us leave room for everyone but firmly guide those who write a less civil approach. And there is always the option of ignore. Remember this is the long hot summer. Tempers are short sometimes, the market sucks, and Tekboy has obviously lost a few marbles with his most recent posts. And as far as the kissing goes- great way to make up and start anew. Martha@notastewart.com Ps Disclaimer- I am not implying that anyone has lost their temper or that Tekboy is...

Off topic: Does anyone remember what the ticker symbol was for TCI cable, now part of At&T? Also, does Edgar keep the SEC filings for discontinued companies available on its website? Thanks, Huey

dang it Mike: ...the only thing that is unfair is rudeness You still haven't made a peep about the rudeness of paul_philips post which started all this. If fairness is your real objective here (and I have no reason to believe it isn't) then my upbraiding of paul-philips was not totally uncalled for. The idea should be to root out rudeness 'wherever' it is found, not just if you happen to personally dislike the style of the one posting it. Moderated? If you must, and I would vote 'yes' but only if a thread Board of Directors was set up and a unanimous vote of that Board was required to ban a poster. Curbstone
