Ahhhh, what a blissful day...

I, too, would like to speak up and thank the Lords of the Thread (Thread Gods? / Sultans of Stock? / Lobster Legends? / Chieftains of Checkfree? / Rodney Wranglers?), for all they've done to get me all charged up about a stock I might have otherwise sold (and regretted forever).

And to Mr. Baga's and Mr. Gintel's gratiousness in allowing me to tag along on the Florida retreat when I was not even a card-carryin' member of the famed SI boards (fer shame)! What an eye-opening, gracious and rare experience that was (in case any of us forgot) -- really meant something to me, especially considering the dire straits the stock had fallen into at the time...(also, thanks to "Destiny" for guiding me and the future Mrs. Zuma AWAY from riding in any more four-wheeled, canopied deathtraps with a certain aforementioned ThreadHead) <g>, of course.

Quite an amazing group we have here -- we all know this board's gonna get a little "crowded" in the days to come...hopefully we can keep the facts, humor and humility in proper balance -- to make the new folks feel welcome and keep the "noise" at a minimum...

Damn, today was fun! It's just great seeing how inefficient the Street really is, and how long it takes the "wizards" to discover what us plain folk already know about products that make our lives just a bit easier (apparently, some wizards STILL haven't caught on -- maybe they'll revise their estimates up to, uh, the mid-twenty range by the end of the week) <g>.

Anyway -- thanks again to all you friends and strangers out there who have shared your experience, opinions, insight and fact-finding skills to help level the playing field for all of us...
