Chief: I am generally a passive person!!! In fact, very much so...There are about three days a year that I would attenpt to defend my position. Most times I read and laugh at what the possibilities could be...You know, the thousand ways to skin a cat!!!I don't like skinning cat<gggg> I will now go and crawl under a "ROCK" for another four months. Some day I may offer an opinion again but it will be on the thread "DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER" <gggggg> 1st.Mate PS. Don't look, I havn't started the thread yet!!!

Wow! Is it safe to come out now? I was getting a flashback to the beginning of "Saving Private Ryan" there for a minute. Just kidding. It was great to see such a spirited discussion, although I think you were both doing some hair splitting about points on which I believe you both fundamentally agree. Ever since Chad (post #378) brought up the possibility that it is mostly people on this tread that are making this stock rise and fall, I have been keeping track of the the relationship between the number of posts per day on this thread and the change in share price. While I don't have access to th proper statistical software to say for sure, there seems to be a positive correlation. I will email the numbers to a friend to get some analysis done in SAS. Unfortunately even if if the positive correlation is quite high, it does not answer whether the change in price affects the number of posts or the other way around. Kind of a chicken and the egg thing. Anyway I will let you all know what I find out. Goodnight all, Signed Too much time on my hands
