Now I found it necessary, quite a long time ago, to say to the likes of dale baker that he didn’t know me personally, and therefore I didn’t appreciate him making insinuations and seemingly derogatory personal comments in that regard. I must say much the same to you Timba. I really don’t appreciate you "preaching" and "pontificating" to me about aspects of my humility, ego, condescension, level of care for others etc.. etc.. Who, may I respectfully ask, do you think you are ??!! I don’t take it upon myself to make remarks or insinuations about the persona of other Board Members, UNLESS they provoke me in the way you, d.baker and c.worth, for example, have done. A comprehensive search through my Messages should confirm that ! And rest assured, I’ve been around the block long enough to have picked up a thing or two about general behaviour, decorum and the like. I don’t believe I need the intervention of Paul Senior to enlighten me in that regard. And quite honestly, from what I have witnessed with regard to Paul’s attitude towards his fellow Board Members, I doubt very much that he would take such a "duty" on himself. And finally ... I don’t see my ideas as being superior to others. What I have done is question and debated the use of certain ratios and criteria that are used in order to obtain a particular end result. I have also attempted to indicate to others why I use the criteria I use. If, in the way I have portrayed that, has found disfavour with anyone then I apologise. That was certainly not my intention. As I’ve said often enough by now, what they do with regard to their own investment strategy, is entirely their own affair. Now ... if you wish to discuss and debate stock market related issues with me, that’s fine. But if you’re going to resort to various levels and/or forms of "personal abuse", then, as far as I’m concerned, the longer you "lurk" the better ! With specific regard to your investments, I also wish you a prosperous year ahead.
