Carol, Yea, last week it was a bit of mad house. And as you said everything comes to an end. If nothing else, we are all united in our sadness. Some for their own loss, others in their knowledge that the next spin of the revolver could produce the same results in their own fortunes. I broke last week end and could no longer continue as the pitch of the battle as it escalated. It became meaningless when seen in the light of loss; a loss sure to be felt by people I had come to care about. This is not to say I do not stick to my outright slams at the chittering segmented creatures; but even they have metamophized in the cloudy aftermath of nondescript press releases and are seen through the lenses as pitiful. I care not to figure out who among them was the Short; for we of this thread bore that mark also. And there was a fifth column on both sides no doubt. What I do know is a lot of really decent believing people seem to have gotten stung. This means that in future there will be fewer good solid investors in real projects. It means less for all of us. It brings no joy to me to see this thread quiet. I am not upset to read no dismal, cheap, semi-threatening garbage on the tread. And perhaps this will bring and end to another cycle of email intimidation that flows deep in the heart of this discourse. Until when? Until another group of people decide to make money at our expense? I don't know. I believe we as a group have done a very good job of bringing the issues to the forefront, of discussing them, of fighting them out. And generally done so in a reasonable manner. Even guys like Theo are benign; if a swarm of mosquitoes can be called such. But there are others... This is a time of sadness. EC is evidently right in what he predicted. And I have long respected him for his willingness to go out on the limb and to commit himself; even thought I do not fully understand the his reasons for such sacrifice--personally this has to be very devastating. Well Carol, have a good weekend. Have not seen you on the 'Spacey' tread lately. Come join our pronoun discussion. regards, mnmuench
