Good Afternoon Chuckie... A couple of things in your post struck me... sorry I didn't get to the sooner, but I was busy expanding my horizons by reading some intellectual twit's cosmic theories regarding order and chaos and why my boys don't have to clean their room. Its poetry, you know. <g> You said:Based on the latest reports from your twin, I thought it was all nothing but fog... but then again, knowing your twin, that fog was probably from enjoying herself entirely too much while in your fair state <g>. Nope. I have a theory... I think the fog follows her around wherever she goes... Ask her about Tennessee lately. <g>It would also be nice to see a week go by without the PPs, CPs, LEs, and the rest of the self appointed saviors on here... but I guess we are destined to have to put up them for awhile longer. OK, you asked for it... you are gonna get it... the Lazarus Long opinion of DGIV's SI and Raging Bull detractors! What? You say you didn't really want to know? Ooooops... too late! I already have it formulated... lol. Coffee Pot: harmless. Totally harmless. His ammunition is old... well beyond the expiration date. The best he can come up with is... making a statement and then "ROFL!" I guess it was kind of cute when we first saw it, but it lost its appeal after about oh... the first time we saw it. PaleRider (RB): A nut. Nothing more than a nut. An old saying that seems appropriate comes to mind... Even the devil can quote scripture to his own purpose (BTW... you can check that one out somewhere in the Gospels... don't remember which one, but it had to do with the temptations of Jesus) Mark something or another (RB): A whiner... somebody that has made some poor decisions and can't seem to find it within himself to take responsibility for his actions. Triple J, Jane J. Jackson: I wouldn't really put her in the same category as the rest, but there are some that would call her a basher. I call her a trader... a trader that believes that her way is the right way. I can't argue with her success, but it leaves no allowance for differences in style and needs. Jane calls for the company to produce financials and a 10-SB, but then again, don't we all? Val: I haven't seen an original idea from him yet. Little Engine - can be quite effective when he / she puts his / her mind to it. Some posts are well thought out and make excellent points. However, he / she seems to be on a personal vendetta against the "Rocketeers." I don't know what that is all about, but it certainly detracts from any other message he / she has. Paul McGinnis - the most interesting of the bunch, IMO. His presence here on our thread really has nothing at all to do with the stock. Oh, he has to make a negative post now and again, but his real interest seems to lie with our reaction to various stimuli. Shock is certainly one of his favorite tools... The problem is his inconsistency in what he states as beliefs. I just ain't buying it. BTW, Jane... you stated about Paul:I see good things in Paul such as his knowledge of literature, his satire, and his willingness to put himself "on the line" in a public forum to air out his own beliefs. I would suggest that knowledge without use is just that... not useful. Satire? Perhaps you have had other conversations with him... otherwise, I must have been absent that day. Jane, he does not put his personal beliefs on the line. I have already made my statements as to why I think that true. I have a confession to make. When I invited Paul to go to DGIV with me, 90% of the reason was so that I could meet him face to face. I think it would have been a most interesting encounter. IMO, I think Paul has also relegated himself to the "relatively harmless category" by his posts intended to shock others. OK... so that is my opinion Chuck... the detractors don't bother me much. No, instead, I find them more a curiosity. Of course, I expect that now I will get the same treatment from them. I guess that is fair... I have broken an unwritten social rule by stating my opinion like this... Oh well... turn around is fair play. Lazarus, not believing that I mentioned the Bible? What is that all about?
