Z, A very astute post. Once again our resident self-admitted liar has failed to review the entire scenario which occurred with Jeff Berry who, BTW, is a true gentleman. Jeff was involved in a pi$$ing match with another member of the thread who had insulted him. I spoke with Jeff for over an hour on the phone and learned that this was Jeff's reason for posting (in contrast to our resident self-admitted liar who hides behind an alias and refused to either give me his phone number in a PM or call me at my number which I PM'd him). More importantly though, Jeff, who is a man of honesty and integrity, agreed and admitted to me that what he was posting was solely his own personal opinion and interpretation and was certainly no more valid than what his adversary was saying. But he was justifiably angry at being called names and was on the warpath. He agreed that if his adversary would publicly apologize on the thread for the name calling, he would admit his posts were only his interpretation and cease posting. I suggested via PM to the other party that he was wrong in his name calling and that he should publicly apologize. He did and Jeff Berry being the gentleman that he is as well as an intelligent human being followed through on his promise. Z... some people have integrity and self-esteem. Others are such perverted liars that they have no shame in even admitting it... and proclaiming publicly that they will do it again if it suits their purpose. The members of this thread will have to decide who they choose to listen to. Unfortunately SI has no "ignore" feature. My only suggestion to this individual is to stop his decorating of the thread with his/her repetitive posts of old news (he/she does claim to be a decorator) and stop with his faux finishes once and for all. If he had achieved any financial success at all in his own personal endeavors he would not be begging on the thread for funds to hire a law firm (which, BTW, is a futile exercise, IMO). He would either sell whatever stock he does own (if any) or just go hire the attorney on his own to satisfy his own curiosity. Unless, of course, you are right, z. Will the thread members ever learn? I can't answer that question. Why anyone would ever, ever believe a self-proclaimed liar (who is proud of it and brags about it yet) and a person who hides behind an alias is totally beyond me. I do my DD as best as can humanly be done and share it with the thread. I do not ask for thanks... nor do I expect any. And I am very comfortable with my decision to remain long TSIG for the duration... regardless of certain individuals attempting to rehash old news. I have made mistakes in my life as I'm sure everyone on this thread has... but we learn from our mistakes. Quite frankly, I would be hesitant to ever invest my funds in a company whose management had never made mistakes because, IMO, it is from mistakes that we learn how to avoid them in the future. I may express my opinions and point of view and philosophy, but I don't get up on a podium and try preaching to people as does this "individual" who quite obviously believes the thread members are beneath him/her in every way. Your post, z, says a great deal and, IMO, perhaps contains a great deal of truth. Best always, Marty
