don, here is a copy of something i was able to express firstly, to tim. It is now 7:30 A.M. for you. To: T L Comiskey From: arthur pritchard Wednesday, Feb 17 1999 7:39AM EST -Preview- tim: I have never felt better. My path always is to seek out certain people. In my personal life I seem to seek out persons in the healthcare field; this stems probably from the severity of medical problems my family has had. In my life on the thread, I originally complained about complacency. I don't know whether you remember all that from me..I was complaining about even kemble talking about the smile of msd, all the time. I was specifically even complaining about the leadership of the thread, without naming specific persons---for their complacent leadership. Complacent kinds of attitudes can really hurt some investors who can not recover if they simply idolize msd(join the gleeclub), and not learn more about what they are investing in.. I took chances from which I am able to recover; I believe I have techniques and knowledge of the computer business, which will enable me to recover. That is different, from when you can not recover. Actually I am glad I lost alot of money, because it is just that, and nothing more. I can generate plenty of cash, starting all over again, if this is what the market does to dell today. Personally, I credit myself for taking the trouble to meet several people without waiting for anyone to organize meetings, with the objective of increasing the debth of the thread "experience"for me on my own terms---which have always meant for me, one on one meetings. This was and is a good idea, for me. I personally also took the step of wanting to meet more of the energy and people in Round Rock. My approach in "business" has always been to "personalize" business, if possible. I don't measure my "progress" by the dollar size of the account, but rather by whether I am working "with the right people" and on techniques, which will increase our likelihood of recovering from any adversity. And I am continuing to think that way. Meeting both you and Frank, made me feel solid about my "california connections" on the thread. Now, I have met Donnie and Don out here, and I have determined that I can work with both of them; they both have alot to give, in their own separate and unique way (both of which have "techniques" I am studying). And for me, knowing people first hand is not a choice; it is a requirement. So, by these standards, I feel both responsible to those who depend on me, and in a better position to work personally with both Don and Donnie. I am also wanting to meet Sig, and see what comes out of that. Although the thread has it limitations for me personally, I feel I can keep in touch with it by knowing that persons like you and frank and don and donnie, are (in a way which is very real to me), looking out for my interests. At the same time, I will be making contributions, in my own way. Anything I can develop in the way of refining my techniques to make them safer, I will be sharing. May Peace be with us all! I have always been needing to "meet the real people", in any situation I think about. I am meeting the real people. A thread which by its very nature and definition permits people to take confusing positions, or to hide behind identities created by them, is not good for the parts of me which have always insisted on judging/reading people face to face. Thank you very much for taking the "risk" of meeting me. I will keep everyone posted, as to what I am able to develop---if anything. Tim, I may copy frank and don with this post, as I think I have been able to express some things to you, which I want to share with them.
