Lisa,

>>John S. could be joking or he could be serious....


Maybe I should have added to somewhere on my previous post: "parody post, not to be taken seriously", but if you have to explain a joke then you usually wind up ruining it. I kind of thought that it was obvious that I was joking, but maybe I'm assuming too much - after all I thought that the FBN thread was pretty obvious, while others are still trying to figure it out. I figured that the WSJ had such a good reputation that it it would be pretty obvious that a bunch of supposed small-time stock hustlers would not be able to plant a cover story there - it is the WSJ after all, not some mimeographed tout sheet.

>>> because there are actually people who think like this....

That's why Tread Morons has become my favorite thread.

>>>there in lies the art of figuring out who is who and what is what in the FBN saga...

And on every SI thread...

Regards,
John Sladek

P.S., Please don't nominate me as a thread moron on the basis of the previous post. My ego is too fragile (NOT), and I am trying to maintain my reputation on SI as a credible poster.
