Dear Alomex, As that wonderful President, Ronnie Reagan used to say: "There ya go again." I've asked you to please not ask me to defend the posts or comments of others. Yet, you keep talking about what "Apple bulls" did long before I came along, and quoting past "glories." I'd be grateful if you confined your responses to me, to things that I said. You remind me of the gold bugs of many years ago...the Douglas Casey's and Howard Ruffs who, as far as I know, are still predicting a market crash during the last 7,500 pts. on the Dow. Someday, they're gonna be right...only we'd all be too broke by the time it happened to benefit. You see, it is you who are in deep denial, not the Apple bulls. I recommend the 12 step recovery program for washed-out Apple bears."Hello, my name is Alomex...until very recently, I was in deep denial. I still have a great deal of trouble simply recognizing that I have been wrong. But I am working very hard to change that perception." I am far too indifferent to your opinions to bother looking it up, but I'm certain your conversion to "neutral" on Apple, came only within the last several weeks, after or close to, the point where the stock had already doubled...not in January as you claim. And what the heck is a "neutral" position, anyway? That means, like you, we should neither own the stock, nor short it, but simply sit on the sidelines while the stock doubles? Great recommendation. And let me see...you're the doctor who "cures" the patient? Sure. In a pig's eye. You have the disturbing habit of putting words in my mouth or twisting them to suit your purpose. It is dishonest, and frankly, I'm losing what little respect I had for you. I did not portray those who participated in these senseless arguments with you as "open-minded." Rather, I said that I thought that they were every bit as silly as you. But I think I've changed my mind...no one is as silly as you. You attempt to paint me as an Apple fanatic, even while I haven't said a single thing in defense of Apple, it's OS, or it's stock. Why not just stick your tongue out, jam your thumbs in your ears, wiggle your fingers and say, "Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah?" I'm not going to post to you anymore, Alomex. Any more time spent with this nonsense, is time spent away from more productive pursuits. You did every single thing I said you did in your response to me...you selectively quoted. You tried to deflect the argument by attaching a label to me. You answered nothing. You quoted the past again and again. You attempted to attack me by quoting posts I had nothing to do with. And you managed to do it all, without saying a thing. Frankly, you've become irrelevant and silly, and I think you should be ignored.
