Let me guess... off to the "Let's Ignore the little Realities, and Bury Our Heads in the Sand" Iomega Thread? Not at all. Every IOM bear is welcome--except for the one who has gone too far with his compulsive addiction and more than occasional lie in the form of false headlines. This new thread will have the discipline to withstand your taunts, understand your addiction, and become what it used to be a long time ago--an arena for civil exchange of information in a very interesting and speculative stock. If I need a "fix" to feed my "Jones", I will be happy to visit you in your own self-constructed petting zoo, where things will get lonely. But under no set of circumstances will I or anybody else respond to you on the new thread. You ruined it for everyone, including most significantly yourself. So now you have your personal thread, where you can rant and rave about Quigley, Amazon, Rambus, and other non-related topics--sort of like giving a party where no one comes. One final invite. Rocky, if you ever take a Greyhound to Chicago, send me a Private Message, and I'll take you to your spiritual home. Officially it's known as Newberry Park. For a number of years, it was a cruising park for Chicago's gays. But before that it was known as "BugHouse Square"--a area where lonely old and soon to be lonely old men would climb on crates and preach endless shibboleth to the "masses"--usually a few passerbyes. Over time these "realists" became angrier and enraged as people learned to ignore their endless verbigeration--even when the message they extolled had validity. And as they became increasingly embittered and frustrated, their message became more radical and meaner to the point where they no longer had credibility. As an allegory, you Mr. Reid, are stepping out of a Yellow Cab with your soap box in hand ready to walk across Clark Street and enter "Bughouse Square."--one of the world's first Internet "soapbox preachers". Good Bye and Good Luck
