<<i have never been to your thread so i couldn't have taken any info from it.>> Easy Bill, I was just joking. We have a de-facto rule on SI, any tongue-in-cheek note will be followed by a '-g-', for grin that is! I am not suggesting for real that you pirated our stuff. Even if you did, we don't mind. It is just that a bunch of weirdos on the Myth thread think and react more or less like you do. It is an SI hang-out for a lot of cynical guys with some warped sense of humor and realistic expectations of the market and life in general (at the present time most of us happen to be bears on the market - not a surprise.) Here is a link that explains our manifesto: #reply-8010281 You are welcome to butt-in any time. FYI, Bill Meehan, Michael Burke and Earlie are the official celebrities of the Myth Thread. We have room for a few more celbs on the Myth roster. We would be honored if you can come on board. BTW, if any of those rabid bulls come to attack you, we will take care of them for you! -g-

<<belive it or not i just discovered my si maiolbox and saw this in it>> Bill since you are still getting to know your way around on SI, I thought I will offer you some tips. (This is tongue-in-cheek, I hope you don't mind. -g-) 1) Never search Intel, Dell, Compaq, IBM or AMAT thread with your name. It will be pretty depressing to know that they 'love' you on these boards. -g- 2) If you want to know more about what people have been think about your rap, you may also want to search with phrases like 'hair-cut,' or 'broken record.' If I think of more, I will let you know. -g- In all seriousness, though, most of use here think that you are deadly accurate in your fundamental observations. We do understand that what you are up against is a mania and there is nothing you can do about it. I personally learned a lot from your columns. Keep-up the good work! -Mohan
