First, let me say that I agree with you about this thread having gone to hell. That's what I'm trying to rectify. I'm just about done with my soap-box time, so I'll step off in a moment and get back on-topic before Jill backhands me. Some people get their jollies at second-guessing others. I don't, mainly because A) I just don't care what stocks you buy and B) I have enough fun second-guessing myself. I'm not telling anybody what to think about "The Deal", and I sure hope the good folks at RNTK and TX are a whole lot smarter than I am. That's why I bought RNTK in the first place. IMHO, RNTK is something to put in the back of your portfolio and forget about. Excuse me but you two deserve each other. Okay, you're lumping me, a self-professed RNTK underwater long, and Mr. Russell into the same basket. That's wholly inaccurate, but if that's how you see both of us, that's okay by me. Rather than yelling at Mr. Russell, let's try to find out what his motives are, and what data he is relying on. If it turns out that he really is full of fluff, then he can be ignored. For that matter, if it turns out that I'm full of fluff, ignore me! It's tough trying to slog through off-topic posts (like this one) to find the few that have valuable information, either pro or con. Again, if anybody feels the need to yell at somebody, yell at me privately and let's keep it off the thread. I'm on a crusade to get this thread back ON TOPIC , so that information, rumors and the occasional opinion are the main content of this thread, not inane bickering (like this!). Okay, I'm off the soapbox now. Be gentle with me, Jill.
