Well, my membership in SI was free and still is, so I guess I will never get my money's worth out of it. I don't take my laptop to the beach because I am afraid it might get sand in it and spell words wrong. But I think you are right, that people who qualify as thread morons probably don't get along much better with the three-dimensional people around them, though they may be marginally functional. For example, an accountant can be anal-retentive to the point of psychosis and still be a very good accountant. And a real estate agent with a psychopathic streak can be very useful, provided they are working for you. A long time ago I came up with my own definition of a jerk, "A person who causes problems for other people without getting any benefit out of the problems caused." My online Merriam Webster says, "An annoyingly foolish or stupid person." I guess I would agree with that. But "Thread Moron" sounds better than "Thread Jerk," for some reason.

The auto-nominating bRaInLeSs bRiAn needs to learn the proper use of apostrophes, as noted earlier by others. As it is, he writes like a.......MORON.

I'LL RESPOND TO YOUR QUESTION ....who qualifies to be real thread moron , anyone that lost all there money ( hahahahah) and now all they do is bash people and other stocks....... There is a mutated little branch on the thread moron tree that is located close to the base. It occurs when the "entertaining" gene on the Thread Moron chromosome is damaged and there is no entertainment value left whatsoever. This mutation has been named the Thread Idiot. It is not hard to recognize this mutation. Invariably, it suffers from the following symptoms: 1) NuVo wAVo font usage. 2) stuttering (e.g. hahahahahahahah....lololololololol) 3) Repeater syndrome with bastardization (e.g. Brian at the beach thinking these people need to get a LIFE!!!!!!!...see Jane J. Jackson for source material) While a real PITA, the thread idiot is best pointed out and then ignored...... particularly when it responds to this post. Diver
