Sycamore, I can be very sincere toward you and tell you that I wish you the best in your investments. I hope you make millions. I mean that. But you should never attempt to characterize anyone in a post. Both you and Risk have only been SI members for three months, yet into your first month you were both starting this personal crap in your posts. Think about that...just signed on and away you two went. The problem is alot of people come over from aol, sick of the BS, but don't know how to act on a message thread. You can call my arguments lousy. You can argue that my take on the information is completely wrong and here's a list of reasons...but it should stop there. I will never start--initiate--this trash. Attack the post, not the individual. Stop doing it...it serves no purpose. Discuss the issues and fight the urge to sneak anything of a personal nature into the discussion. And never bring another's family into any exchange, ever. If you learn this, you will find that these SI message threads can be alot of fun. Ask yourself why did you join SI? I've been on SI for a long while and even date before my current membership of Nov 96. Aipn is the all time worst thread for starting personal attacks I've ever seen. It started out great, but as soon as the fact was clear that the stock wasn't going to the moon anytime soon, well, it all started. Remember, you have control over your keyboard.
