Wayne, our posts crossed ... I did not have the benefit of your latest post when I wrote mine. I think you will receive less sarcasm and anger if your posts are more like the latest. We may agree with or respect the content (or not), but at least it doesn't waste our time.

>>>The problem with this is that this thread is a collaborative experience.... it's not here simply for your convenience. If you want to barrage us with your insight, there is a very efficient technique called cut and paste. Nobody minds your promotion of your site if it's subtle like one reference in your byline. But we don't want to have to click multiple times to get your insight and we don't want to see multiple cross postings (i.e., Buffetology and Value Investing) and we don't want to see a post that has no real value in itself (i.e., a link). I think you and your content will be far more welcome and will produce more goodwill if you focus more on saving everybody else's time and less on yours.<<<< If that is the general feeling of this group, I will refrain from posting here at all then. Cutting and pasting everything I write in HTML format or at other forums and then converting it to a readable form for here is just too time consuming. I do find this attitude quite amazing though. In every other forum I regularly visit, I personally welcome links to articles of general investment interest, links to value investment web pages and even links to the personal views of other investors. In fact, I specifically search for things like that. It saves me the enormous amount of time of having to search for them myself. I thought my efforts were generous, not an annoyance. That's the way I think about all the other pages and forums I visit where others generously share the results of their searches, readings, and writings - often via link. I certainly didn't think I was barraging anyone. I thought I was being helpful. I won't be visiting anymore. Bye! Wayne Crimi
