To all..... I need some help. (I know, I know)... I've watched over the months, and have learned how to (at least sometimes) follow the logic of the many posts. I have also seen that a large percentage of the posts and nominations originate in the many penny stock threads. While most who follow me probably know my opinion of same, I am still confused by something... Why do these people (the nominees <g>) stay in these threads? Are they gluttons for punishment? Are they addicted to the conflicts, and the back and forth venom that gets thrown around? And what's the deal with these 'conspiracy theories!!' (I sound like Seinfeld) Are these people for real???? I offer the following as yet another waste of human energy.... Subject 22746 I know, the answers are obvious. I also know that if you're drawn to such stocks, you are probably of a type that can't resist all the attendant histrionics that goes with them. And I realize that people can get very emotional about their money. But I am still continually amazed at the high drama that comes out of these gathering places. You certainly don't see so much nuttiness in threads on higher priced stocks like DELL, AOL, CSCO, MSFT, etc, do you? Is the share price directly related, inversely, to how much whacked sputum that emerges from these threads? Geez, and I only have a limited view, based on the posts in here, and occasionally a couple of posts before or after the nominated ones. Must be great entertainment for those of you who witness it all, and bring back such great examples of moronosity. Guess I don't really have to have any replies, just needed to do some soapbox preaching. I'll get over it.... Lord knows I have my foibles like the rest of us..... Well, except for you know who. Len
