Hi Ace, Chase your interests,hang in a lot of threads. Somebody will be rude to you and a nice person will invite you to another thread. You'll find commonalities of folks and see where they hang. It's a long time learning experience that can absorb far too much of your time. <smile> Some times the best thing to do is intro yourself as a newbee and ask for some advice. Investing is why I hang here and so too for many others. There are many off investing threads and you'll come across them by accident at least that's how it has worked for me. If you like a person's view people mark them. Over time you'll see many come and go and some even return while others are extremely disciplined and contribute daily. Most of those who do, are extremely gracious and helpful. Hope you find it to be worth your time! Bob

Personally, I rarely click on "Read Replies". Rather, I just go in chronological order and keep track of stuff in my head. Any time I reply to an older post where the discussion has changed, and therefore I think people might not know to what I am referring, I'll quote it like this: I gather that SIlicon Investor is more like a free-flowing chat Like in most conversations, you reply to whatever people are chatting about now, not what they said a few days ago. If you can follow a conversation at a party where a bunch of people are chatting at once, then you can easily follow the discussions here. There is no learning curve. BTW, note that I am replying to you about stuff most people here already know. They may skim this post or ignore it since they have nothing to add. No different than two people at a party having a side conversation where those listening just tune it out. Real life played out in writing I guess. - Jeff

Do you just: 1. Go to a "subject" (e.g. Subject 56874 ) 2. Click on a few of the latest posts/replies in the "subject" 3. For each post, follow the links upwards (i.e. clicking on "To: user123 who wrote (12345)") and downwards (i.e. clicking on "Read Replies") to read more posts. Is this how it's supposed to work? What I do and I think most other members as well is "subjectmark" the discussion rooms we are interested in following and once or twice each day we log onto Silicon Investor to skim and maybe read the new contributions that have been posted on those subjectmarks. It's really as simple as that. When you log on SI will tell you which of your subjectmarked rooms have new posts and how many in each. You click on that name or number and only the new (not yet read) posts will populate. It's very convenient.
