WHY YOU SAY THAT??? Doug: "I think it's very bad form to announce yourself as short on a thread. There's no reason for it IMO." Can't argue with taste, if you think it's bad form. When I was short OXHP, though, and wanted to talk to people on that thread, I established in the first sentence that I was short so that there'd be no misunderstanding. I think the days when shorting was "unAmerican" and anticapitalist are over. Shorting is the ultimate form of capitalism, because it acknowledges and avers the realities of the marketplace. After being mistaken for a shorter by Jim Strauss on the RECY thread, merely because I wanted to express doubts I was having, I made sure that when I was actually short, that there'd be no doubt who and what and why I was there for.
