Translation: I find your bearish comments distressing. I wish you went away. Did you get your degree in translation through the mail, by chance? The original post translates to: "Where do you get off cluttering up the AAPL forum with uninformed drivel when you have absolutely no investment of any kind in the company or its future?" For any more help, just ask. Mark

Translation: I find your bearish comments distressing. I wish you went away. No, I was quite serious in my question. I really do want to understand why Bill posts here. I value bearish posts that are well-informed and well-argued. Like yours, for instance. I occasionally say bearish things myself about Apple. What I want to understand, though, is why Bill writes long posts, often in groups of ten or fifteen at a time. If he were interested in Apple, whether from a positive or negative viewpoint, I could understand. But he doesn't seem to be. Rather, it seems that the act of posting itself is the interesting thing for him, and that the negativity is mostly a function of a desire to get a response. But I'm guessing, and I would rather he explained it. rhet0ric
