no offense meant tomato. I've seen your posts and you seem like a decent sort (beefstake I assume). But the header says laughter and I think thats a pretty open topic. But as I am sure you are aware I took the general consensus on wavs and opened a wav thread. I only responded in this instant because I find Mr H's self appointment as thread monitor boorish. If you check his profile you will find several posts where he has set the rules for others but little offering of his own.

Thanks. I thought my post was pretty gentle, simply suggesting he would find a better reception elsewhere. Guess HV is a bit sensitive. I notice in responding to you he criticizes my other posts. Hmmm--I think those who live in glass houses...his posts have virtually nothing to do with investing; he seems to view this board just as a place for trivia, movie quotes, and humor. At least I post on financial threads and view the humor threads as a diversion. Maybe that explains our different approaches.
