Even though I haven't posted here much over the past few months, I still follow it. Stock Swap has always been a slice of life, but it never was intended to transcend reality. In the nine months that the thread has been in existence, I'm sure at least one poster/lurker has gotten married or divorced, given birth, graduated from school, been fired, hired or arrested, or perhaps even abducted by aliens. Steve even claimed he finally had an erection. (OK that last comment was intended for cheap laughs; sorry.) Anyway, we here all have our own free will and reserve the right to buy a stock one person says is a bargain, another says is over-valued, and yet another person calls a scam. Some of us trade for kicks, others are looking to make a few extra bucks, and yet others are trying to put themselves through school or support a family on their profits. As civilized adults, our place is to criticize but not judge, laugh but not scorn, and proffer but not preach. It really doesn't matter if our voice on Stock Swap is one of many or one of few. It really doesn't matter if anyone really pays us much attention. Because, in the grand scheme of life, the only important thing is that the Giants win the Super Bowl. No no no... sorry... The important thing is that we all get out of the SI experience whatever it is we're looking for in our lives. But it would be kind of fun if the Giants played the Jets in the Super Bowl. (gg) - Jeff
