David: This new interloper challenged me to research his posts, and I have. This guy is worse and he must be ignored if this thread is going to survive. He has literally posted one thousand times on the Corel thread--virtually destroying the thread--a thread where he originally pleaded many times to other posters to keep clean. He was long and proud at 6 5/8 on Correl. Then Correl issued some negative press in late August of last year. Inspite of his post here bragging about the fact that he was among those who warned of Correl's problems, his posts unquestionably demonstrate that he was long Correl throughout the entire debacle. And I see no information that he has yet sold his position in Correl--notwithstanding his negative posts. There is one exception. On Aug 22, he claimed he sold before the negative announcement. But there were several posts later indicating that he had held on. Today the stock is in the 2s. But David the most interesting thing is that a review of his posts indicates that he loves cockapoos, Barry Manilow, invites other male posters to send him their private e-mails and lives in New York City. As God is my judge, I am not joking. Now does that sound familiar or what. For this thread to survive, he must be ignored. I will neither post to this or any other thread for the next seven weeks. When I come back, I give this thread a 50 50 chance of becoming a quality thread. My final thought is this. If SI does not do something to stop the abuse, then it will lose its value as a market tool. The time may be right for an investment web site with very strict rules of conduct. As for the punks who have proliferated these threads, I will leave them with the words of my now 94 year old father, "Always give the psycho the last word"
