I wanted to say that I hope SI'ers understand my lack of a sense of humor in my posts the past two years. This is a decidedly unfunny situation, what has happened. But I do hope that my previous post will make you laugh a little bit, see that maybe I posted as I did before because the events required formality, but that in fact some things here are really funny, and when someone who really doesn't appreciate what I'm up to insults me in a hilarious way, well I tip my hat to that kind of colorful banter, because it gives us all a breather from all the heavy statements - and even in this, we need it. So, funny I would compliment a detractor that way, and some others too. Well, SI as I said has helped me in ways you all might not imagine, and I'm extremely grateful. Also, to SIBob, though we had some heated exchanges both on and off SI in the past, guess what, he has not shut me down. I'll bet he was pressured to do so. So Gray, our resident SI Poet Laureate, perhaps things are turning the corner, changing for the better. Adios for now amigos. I'll post my Appellant's Opening Brief in the Rea/Trading Places appeal after it's filed, but for now this case needs some quiet - though it won't necessarily be peace! At least, in a manner of speaking, judicially, not for the defendants... Hasta luego for now. May we raise the glass soon, and go back to the enormous promise the trading community had in 1998, before the clouds came down on us. Martinmas will be theirs, soon; for us, I sincerely and truly believe, a happy and prosperous new day. Olivier
