Nanny - I don't want you to be unsure of where I come from, so I'll try to respond to your reply: a. I did say 'I love you!' when you wrote that post to Pierre, for the very reason you said. But there's a gigantic difference between trying to hold people accountable for what they post and ranting/raving back at them. Which is what I believe you now do very often (despite the 'Good Morning!'s at the end of your post). b. I agree this is not a Cabot board, and it is certainly not for Cabot bashing. But posting regarding the truth about Cabot's degree of accuracy regarding PRST is not bashing to me. Spelling his name LUTZ over and over again is , and if you'll go back to my recent posts you'll see I talked to Paul about that. c. The accuracy of Lutt's predictions regarding PRST doesn't have anything to do with the price of eggs, but it is relevant to PRST's price history/future. Lutts has been wrong several times regarding this stock (as I told you, I've been a subscriber to CML for some time now). And Lutts is going to be a target as long as he favors PRST orders of magnitude above other great stocks. e. HOWEVER, I agree that any bear who focuses on Lutts instead of PRST itself is doing this thread a disservice. f. I didn't say you hadn't been upfront or honest. But there's more to on-line etiquette and integrity than being upfront and honest. g. I don't care what position (long or short) anyone has. My thoughts and comments aren't influenced by any of that. h. Just because you don't set the tone of the conversation doesn't mean you can't influence toward the good . i. I never expressed outrage at you. I appealed to you to behave differently, and to encourage others (bulls and bears) to do so. I appealed to you and not some of the others on this thread because I thought that in this case it might be more effective to appeal to a bull instead of a bear. I'm involved in several threads on SI, usually about 8-10 at a time... depending on which stocks I am buying/selling/watching. None are as vehement or as emotional as this one. Nanny, I wrote to you not only because of one of your recent posts, but also because I thought you would be one who could (and might choose to) lead the PRST thread to a different standard. Was I wrong? Loren
