LT,
Hey, good buddy, you wound me, you really do! I write you a nice note commending you on your financial acumen and skillful expression and you call me a newcomer and an as?hole. What gives?

Of course I'm collecting your posts today - I'm hanging on every word! Anything BIG enough to cause you to recommend that we all sell all our stocks by Friday is a little important, don't you think? What, don't you think we listen to you? Skip over one of your posts - heavens no!

Btw, I am not such a newcomer as you might imagine. I have followed your posts here and on AOL for quite some time, and I know you to be a great and unfailing champion of civility in all your posts. Sure, you occasionally sprinkle your posts with words like idiot, jackass and as?hole - but always in a civil manner. I understand that sometimes, to express a particularly deep idea, it is convenient to use a word like as?hole to make your point; I understand, so I will not consider it uncivil. Still, you wound me, you really do!

John

*****OT to LT*****

In order to keep things civil, it sometimes pays to read someone's profile before posting to him/her.

You remember your crack - "If a cabdriver is discussing the merits of the offshore drillers, this bull is near death"?

Well, according to JD's profile, he is a cabdriver. I can't speak for him, of course, but in his shoes I might have taken offense.
