* OT * >> It is strictly for messages pertaining to DELL Funny, I've been a SI member since 1995 and I never saw a statement outlining that; could you refer me to the appropriate Silicon Investor page? >> all I am asking is that people keep this debate in E Mail where it belongs. Not an unreasonable request, but it's not going to happen, Chris. This is a very social board that has brought together a pretty diverse group of people who have shared in the Dell wealth building process. It is a very noisy board, and many of us use the message list to determine which posts to open. Just wait until a good quarterly report or a run up when there are 400 posts a day containing nothing but "GO DELL" stuff. >>I have DELL as my top holding Well that speaks well for you; now let's work on your social skills <g>. >>Unfortunately,IGNORANT people such as yourself want to have public debates about subjects that don't involve DELL Ignorant people have debates about abstract issues. >> If you have a problem with that, e mail me. I'm sure others don't want to read this garbage that has popped up on this board recently. You're making rules up again, Chris. You (and I) are guests here, not Thread Monitors. There's not a lot of technical insight to be gained from this thread, since Dell is a box maker, so I don't think social posts are a problem, particularly when the posters are polite enough to put OT in the first line. If you disagree, take it to the Webistress, or PM me so we can talk candidly offthread. Good luck with your Dell investment, Frank

-OT- Oh Chris.... You are pissing into a hurricane here. These people have developed a "culture" on this thread. You are an outsider taking note of a close knit social group of frequent posters who have developed their own "rules". "OT" might help if someone could come up with a filter (like the E-mail kind) which might help you with the political palaver. It has taken some time to see more and more coutesy here whereby most "OT" posts actually have OT's at or near the top of the message. Not exactly Dr. Doolittle here, but a little more civilized and a little more disciplined here. PROGRESS! I also had a problem with the political crap here so I decided to bookmark the better contributors: Rudedog for Computer Industry/Technical slant, Mohan for General and international tech information, Michelle for the Software viewpoints. There are a few others which you might bookmark, but this late hour, they escape me. Another Dell board on SI which has mostly contributed information: "DELL: Facts, Stats, News and Analysis" Subject 22219 Also you might want to check out this site: clearstation.com RW
