There seems to be several types of posts on this thread. Analysis, friendly banter, running dialog and very very infrequently, flames. I would like to suggest an alternative for the running banter during the course of the trading day. The following is a link to a free internet based communication program which allows for "AOL like" instant messages and more importantly...chat rooms. mirabilis.com It might be fun to have a room set up where the folks from this thread could interact real time, and it would reduce the amount of posts dramatically. Just an idea. As for the flames...take them to email please. ps this is danotx name changed to protect the innocent

Mike, >What I don't understand is why any board participant gets so irritated by a negative post or two...<snip...< I don't understand it either. I think it is the same thinking that gets people to cancel their subscription to a magazine after an article they do not agree with is published. Why on earth would I want a thread or magazine that only apes my opinion? GM
