To: axial who wrote (11309 ) 10/29/2002 6:43:13 AM From: Salt'n'Peppa Read Replies (1) | Respond to of 14101 Jim, a bit knee-jerky in the response there, buddy. <<< I take it that your effort to miscast my comments is a personal attack... >>> Why must everything be a personal attack? Take it how you like, but I was responding to just a couple of your comments and their apparent narrow view regarding individual investors, not attacking you personally. Go easy on the paranoia. The only comment I had directed at you personally was that your posts appeared to be getting so incredibly specific that you seemed to be losing the bigger picture. This was not intended as an attack either. It was an observation, nicely worded and with an attempt at humour to soften the inevitable backlash that this thread often doles out in a heartbeat. Wolf has pointed out that I may have misunderstood what your point was. Fair enough. He may be correct. I have re-read your post, and given your response to me I believe that I had your comments pegged correctly. If I was incorrect, feel free to enlighten me without the sarcastic condescension. In your own words, "a reasoned discussion" of what you said would be a far more civil reply. <<< It's your contention that investors don't give a rat's ass how, or whether, these products work. >>> No it's not! You are lying and you know it. Your careful manipulative addition of "or whether" completely changes what I said. Please don't do that. <<< I submit that how, and whether, these two products work are central to the fundamentals... >>> Well, of course they are. Nobody has said otherwise and nobody disputes you on that score...except Russett, naturally, who thinks we can all make Pennsaid in our basements. I haven't a clue how WF10 works, yet I am confident that Russett is "talking through his hat". Does that make me an anomalous (former) DMX investor? From the original post in question: <<< What's fascinating is that people with a significant investment, a good part of their life savings - just ignore it. >>> Again, the above supports my original reply to you. Why should this be fascinating? Or surprising? News flash: People are lazy. They like their information pre-packaged & easy to consume, hence my remark about the minutae of a company's products (and the lack of investor interest in said minutae). Get a grip guys. I am not a Russett. I was a long-time (almost 2 years) investor in DMX. I will continue to read this thread, out of interest and a small hope that DMX does actually take off. I am not financially involved any more, but would still like to see DMX succeed. Note to Russett: We all have the ability to create a simple flat piece of wood with a groove around the edge, but we still pay 10's of dollars for a bread board. We all have the ability to eat less and (most can) do more exercise, but diet foods (what a joke!) and weight-loss gizmos are a multi-billion dollar industry. WHAT'S YOUR MUCH REPEATED POINT? Care to be civil, Jim? S&P There. Now I've gone and written a Wolf. BTW, Wolf, my dial-up connection is no more. Keep those monolithic monologues coming.
