See my previous post. However if you are behind a firewall, you must be using a proxy client. Most firewalls are only configured to allow for net browsing for security purposes. In other words, most people behind corporate firewalls would be unable to participate.

ICQ does not work behind Firewalls, for non-tech that means that a corporation trying to protect against hackers filters all transmissions through a central box. This box (server) will block all ICQ and IRC communications. Not all Firewalls will block this, but most will, how many corporations have a legit business need to chat. Not many. No new menus

ICQ may have problems with firewalls so if your firewalls prevent ICQ, then your are still going to have to wade through the posts - but aren't the posts great and informative? I always read along, but I can only do so in bursts. In other words I often have a ton of stuff to do - then I read the posts for 10 minutes, go back to work, etc. As a result, I often miss the best times to trade - not that I am utterly dependent, but it sure is nice to see confirmations that we are in agreement. I usually short the same stocks, but I do not necessarily use the same entry and exits as Anthony - Though we are pretty close actually. -NH
