Midwest Investor said: <<Hey Octavian: Remember how Kirk was complaining about what he calls "fake names" or "Brinker shills" who show up here????>> --Yep. I remember. <<Does it seem to you that we have several bashers with "fake names" who have shown up recently to bash Brinker?>> --Well, I don't know if they are "fake names," or new posters. I try not to make assumptions, like bashers do (You know what they say about people who make assumptions). -:) <<It seems this way to me, and I was just wondering if you noticed it too. I count at least three which have shown up recently. Some post a few messages and then disappear like a ghost or something.>> --They all disappear as soon as someone asks them a question they don't want to answer. (In seabiscuit's case, he disappeared as soon as his loved commodities had crashed worse than equities). Then, sometimes, they return later, hoping everyone will have forgotten about the unanswered questions. It's not bad strategy, actually, if you're concerned about strategy, rather than objectivity and reality.
