I'm not sure if you read my entire post. I stated:

1) I've been reading this thread longer than some of you have (my
history shows that I've first started looking at this around
message 6900). I am extremely familiar with the style, tone,
etc you use, and in general, like it, believe it or not.

According to my profile I've been a member of SI since June '96,
that's five months before YOU were a member of SI. "Newcomer"?
(Not that there's anything wrong with that :-)
I can't believe the number of generalizations used to describe
me here.

This "me vs. everyone" is sure not what I intended - it is
what I try to avoid on threads. I don't like it when assumptions
are made about me, but I will go back to lurking. My only beef was
with SOME posts (not many of them) that are almost ROMANTIC in nature.
I really don't want to criticize any individual here, or embarrass
anyone - I mean that - so I'm not going to be more specific.

That's it, I'm back to lurking, this has been quite amazing and
way too negative. I don't want to wreck the overall congenial
tone of this thread. If the community here wants to accept an
occasional "near love letter" post in the midst of the normal
"very friendly and useful investment" posts, I'll need to live with
it. Just thought I'd put in my 2 cents. I didn't expect to get my
head chopped off in the process... bye...
