Oh, My

What do we have here??? More shameless self-promoting spam junk mail? Yes, I think so. It has been a while. You, Trip, are slightly out of line.

I apologize for these bitter words, but I hope everyone takes a moment to look at our friend Trip's recent posts throughout S.I. A million of the same messages posted everywhere. Don't they have rules about this sort of thing?

Seems he (or she) doesn't have any identity or profile so we can have a clue as to it is, but the same message has been posted on many other threads, obviously just a cheap promotion.

The message is ludicrous and even sounds "different" somehow. Why would anyone on the CyberTrader thread even care about getting free real-time quotes? Don't we already pretty much get that?

I think someone intimately connected with "QuoteCentral.com" is behind this useless posting. It always cracks me up to see someone post their cheap advertising here thinking we are too stupid to even recognize it as such. I get personally insulted by this sort of thing. Hey, when the Justice Dept. finishes with Bill Gates, maybe they can take care of these scoundrels. Maybe they can even leave Gates alone for now and solve this problem first. <g>

I formally challenge "Trip" to identify himself or herself and apologize for wasting the space here and our time.

This is just my opinion and, of course, I humbly apologize in advance to anyone who might strongly disagree with me on this point. I hate to see people promote unrelated websites throughout S.I. threads with multiple, redundant postings such as this. Perhaps we can save the space for more info on this new Pristine thing or something equally important.

Bill

Willy,

It is funny to click on the persons' name and see where and what other threads/posts the person contributes to....
You're dead on accurate about the Tripster...
I didnt see one post of his that didnt simply promote that site..
Gotta give the man credit, but trip, come to table with something for the guests and THEN do your dance.

Regards,
Steve@yamner.com
