Fred I have been a lurker on Silicon Investor for almost a year. I have never signed up for an account, even when they were free. I do not trade for various reasons, but am interested in the interaction that takes place on Silicon Investor. I personally do not trade. However, you should make no assumptions based on that fact. I came across Lisa about eight months ago. I have followed her postings since then. I often find myself chuckling at her antics in her life and as she cuts her trading teeth. Oh yes, Lisa. I can picture what you are thinking right about now. I do not always agree with her. However, I do respect her. As she likes to say, "I am who I am and I do not pretend to be any different" and she "tells it like it is" and is not afraid of anyone. She brought an issue to this thread that should have been taken seriously. Yet, she was mocked. I can tell that not only did it happen on this thread, but behind the scenes as well. I have seen the antics of this thread. I do not know what your intent was with these "issue" postings and only you know that. However, from my perspective it could definitely be construed as mocking her, yet one more time. You surely have been around Lisa long enough on the TSO thread to know that if you mocked her, she would come out swinging. She did. She will. Lisa, as I see it, Fred apologized to you. However, it is not so clear as to what he was apologizing for or his intent. What is clear is that you brought an issue to this thread that should have been taken seriously, and was not. You were mocked for it. However, notice how the postings have changed. You are vindicated, even if these people do not have the integrity to apologize for mocking you. I direct your attention to the post that Grant made to Jerry. You know what this thread is about and how it operates. Do yourself a favor, and you know what I mean. If you do not, you will be hearing from me ;-) I am going to send you an email, anyway. So look for it. I will not do private messages for various reasons. Onan
