"Truman, what rights to appeal do I have if you go against me?" None. Truman's debate class has a longstanding reputation for toughness. You guys should have thought of these things before signing up for the lectures. I'm sure he's about to put an end to this current round of verbal fisticuffs soon anyway. In the meantime, just present your knuckles and take the ruler like a man. ;) I have to say, this thread absolutely rocks. Prolific, engaging, and covering a wide range of investment choices, trends, and the world events that affect them. Plus Brinker too. Excellent! --AG

Justa and RIllinois: Though I am flattered by the solicitation to arbitrate or otherwise adjudicate your ongoing verbal feud, I re- spectfully decline said invitation. Suffice it to say, this thread, as veteran poster Justa can attest, is a repository for all manner of commentary and argument central and tangential to Brinker's MoneyTalk radio show. Sometimes, the arguments stray from a purely focused topical disputation to "ad hominem" attacks upon the arguer himself or the arguers themselves. This technique is as timeless as the art of debate, eristical or otherwise, and, in special cases, might be construed as not altogether unjustified or illegitimate. This may beg the question: are the man and his message seamless? However, let us leave this question to the scholars of rhetoric and debate or, better, to the philosophers. In any case, I humbly offer to the twain of you the following homespun advice: if your differences are of the intractable var- iety, i.e., are likely incapable of resolution except by sabers and seconds, it might prove useful a) to call the matter a draw and move on to more fertile ground b) to remove the disputation to an e-mail venue or, failing all, c) to command your seconds to negotiate site and weaponry for the final contest.
