Truman, you can be assured that the overwhelming majority of weavers on this thread stand with you one hundred percent. As founder of this thread you have unique powers of persuasion that cannot be challenged by any others here. Your well thought out posture on Sir Dippy is seconded here. Hopefully posters will simply ignore his mindless ramblings and move on to worthwhile posts. Unfortunately, there is no method yet to rid ourselves of any moron that may wander onto this thread but hopefully some enterprising company will come up with a way to nuke such nerds.

During these difficult days for our thread and begging the indulgence of the good fellows in this forum, I take the liberty of reprising a segment of post #4068. That segment attempts, however feebly, to offer a re-statement of purpose with respect to this topic. A search of the archives at Silicon Investor reveals the dry bones of legion defunct threads. Let us hope that this forum-- now in its six- teenth month and having flourished, arguably, during Brinker's finest hours-- avoids that ghostly fate and continues to be emblematic of the best that SI StockTalk has to offer. From post #4068: "This thread has become a cross-linked feature of Bob Brinker's own extremely popular website at bobbrinker.com and is a frequently visited and well known site at Silicon Investor. Indeed, Bob Brinker's own son, Bob Brinker, Jr., a webmaster in his own right, has been known to visit here occasionally since the early days of the thread. That being said, what we are trying to do here is to preserve the health and integrity of this thread as a credible source of public information and guarantee this thread's continued presence at Silicon Investor as a stimulating, thoughtful, and relatively congenial place for the exchange of ideas spawned by Bob Brinker's weekend radio show. A place where a newcomer... will feel at ease and happily contribute of his knowledge, experience, and insight within the context of this Brinker inspired forum. This is the avowed purpose of the thread, and we cling to the notion that this greater mission is pre-eminent and is worthy of preservation."

>Naturally, for the many of us who are devotees of >Bob Brinker's newsletter, there is the difficulty >we sometimes faceon this thread in discussing Brinker's >thoughts without revealing the particulars of his >proprietary newsletter, especially his latest letters. My understanding is that Markettimer is in no way proprietary. It is a document, similar to a magazine, that one pays for in exchange for receiving it in the mail. As you can find it in many libraries, the information contained in MarketTimer is in the public domain, and can be cited freely. The timing model that Bob uses, is proprietary; this is why you don't know what it is, even as a subscriber. Proprietary information is typically not given out, except under signed, legally enforceable confidentiality agreements.
