Jay: Your comments: << These self-appointed are, of course, only imparting this knowledge out of the goodness of their hearts - not to gain cyber-superstar status by vicariously pumping up their own self-importance (Yeah. Right.) >>. Jay, I assume you are referring to my posts, if you have a problem with them there is always the NEXT button. Nobody is twisting your arm to read them. I don't think my comments have deterioated this thread as you say. Sometimes one does not always get what one wants in the timing one wants it. If others find my posts, useless let them speak out and out of concensus, I will be quiet and listen to your rantings and ravings and self motivating ego building as you call me. Who died and made you boss here? Ben

HEY JAY...You are funny... Looking at your posting history..you have NO RIGHT to state such an opinion..You DO NOT know the history of this thread....It looks like you have NEVER neen on the thread that gave this one birth. Infact, I see your favorite thread is LAUGHTER THE BEST MEDICINE why don't you go back to that thread ..I'm sure you will find some fine picks there. There is a history among the personalties on this thread..we all didn't just start arguing. I feel this is good for the thread..it is new and we have another plan..and we need to hash things out..AND ITS SUNDAY FOR GOD SAKES!!

Sheesh, I don't know what is going on here but there seems to be a lot of it. Jay, I noticed that you post a lot of humor stuff. Thanks for the joke, but this is a serious thread. Can we get back to work around here and ignore people like Mr./Ms. Smith? Sergio

Jay, I have to agree with your post to the utmost. I cant believe we have had about 100 posts just today about whining and self defense. The whole conversation between Ben & Ga Bard this Sunday morning should of been in email. It sounded like two 3rd graders on a playground.. sorry but thats the truth in my opinion. Ben, this is to you personally.. I like your posts many of the times and they can be quite funny (in a good way) but I couldnt believe you need validation of your post by others on the thread. We saw your post yesterday, we read it.. why do you need 20 people to say "Good post!" ?? Do you need everyones pat on the back to make you feel better? Its not just on this board but 2 or 3 others Ive seen the same thing. And no Im not personally attacking you, so dont send me 10 posts back yelling. I just feel some of the things you say should be in email.. i.e. the 20 posts this morning that I had to sort through trying to make sense of. Or here is an idea, when your personally chatting with 1 person on a public forum start the post with "OFF TOPIC",, that way we dont have to read it. Last, I realize you are sincere in your postings, I dont doubt it. I just would prefer to read more about stock ideas and strategies, not about Julius Ceaser. Some people get really defensive on this board and all 56 boards, and of course there is a tendency to favor those you have met in real life at the seminars, but it does tend to get "cliquey". Personally, when I ask questions it gets answered by people who arent in the inner circle and that is fine with me (other than Dave H & James Strauss, who always answer), as long as someone knowledgeable answers. I dont know if Christopher is some made up name or not, but when I read his post I did learn something and instead of appreciating that people got on his case. Why? I never saw him attack anyone, yet people here took it as a personal attack. His post sounded a bit snotty probably to some, but I didnt really see a direct attack. And I think if he does work on Wall Street he must have some advantage. Why block him out like everyone was so quick to do? Anyways, hopefully this is just growing pains and I hope we can get back to normalcy and keep our posts to both individual stock ideas and trading methods. I just came on to try to find the POW to research it myself and instead Ive spent almost an hour reading all this crapola. And Im a fast reader! Sorry if this is harsh but... P.S. Id like to commend Sergio.. in every post Ive read of his he seems to be one of the clearheaded and even keeled fellows here. he doesnt take every criticism of stock picking methods as a personal attack.
