Len, I agree with you. Fully. And I am sure you are a nice guy and mean well, and I respect your opinion. I just hate to see this thread and the "you-know-who" thread periodically deteriorate into senseless, petty bickering over the same issue. And, having been helped so generously by Philip Berber, I hate to see him continually beat up for his efforts to do what he believes is the right thing for him to do. I do not want to distract from the real purpose of this thread, however, and I offer my humble apology for having taken up this space today. To all, please forgive me for only supporting someone I believe in. Notwithstanding my previous remarks, particularly to Len, I am not interested in criticizing anyone. I hope everyone has noticed that,when asked by others, I have always said that I felt MBT and CT were the two best online brokers available and that a choice of either is not a bad thing. I do mean this, and I look forward to seeing these threads used for a more useful purpose in the future. Perhaps we should all learn to ignore better. By the way, Len, I was referring to Ross and others being so prominent in the Yamner chatroom and in the #MTrader and Daytraders Online chatrooms, where I think their presence is both appropriate and very helpful. I guess I don't mind seeing anyone be anywhere as long as their identity is either obvious or otherwise disclosed so that what they say may be considered in light of who they are. Please don't think that I post remarks only in favor of or in defense of Philip Berber. You may have noticed back in May or June that he and I had some pretty heated exchanges, very heated and unpleasant. Sometimes we see eye to eye, and other times we do not. I just like to say what I think, as you pointed out, "ad nauseum." Maybe we all do that. Maybe Philip Berber promotes his objectives in ways which some of us would not do ourselves, but you must respect that he does so openly and honestly. I believe he does what he believes is right, and that's not so bad. Sometimes annoying to some, but not bad. Believe it or not, I think we both agree and I'm willing to let you, again, have the last word on it (which I am sure you will do). <g> Bill
