Yes Cush, the only t..s I touched until my teen age years produced milk.. cows milk.. We always had a few milk cows 4 or 5.. for ourselves, some young calves and sometimes hogs.. Anyway my Dad had a ethical and kind way to break cows to milk.. "A Cow Whisperer" way if you like.. Instead of putting hobbles or a rope around the cow's hind legs and letting her struggle when you first tried to touch her teats.. You would let her get used to the stall and stanchion for awhile.. then one of us would just pet her and move in and rub her hind quarters, while another would take her tail and if the the cow would would start to kick when first milked the person with the tail would gently pull her off balance.. It didn't take long.. Is this ethics?? maybe it is.. there is always a kinder and gentler way to do things.. the Coug.

Hi Cush, Hope you had a good week.. I have a question, but first of all a comment.. We have damn few comments about ethics on this thread compared to all the others... It must say that making money is more important than how a person gets it.. I don't know, It's just a thot. Heres the question.. A narrow one. If you get an advisory service for personal use, are you supposed to spread it around after you take a position?? To deprive the publisher, of additional revenue, to take the position and then profit on additional publicity of the "spreading".. Or to take it one step further, have a concerted effort of a "pool of people" to t each take a seperate service, come up with the best and share it.. WHEN WE ARE ALL PROFESSIONAL OR SEMI- PROFESSIONAL TRADERS... It seems cheap and unethical to me...... an Indepedant Coug says.
