Not to put words in his mouth, but I think Mike thinks that the abuse is signs of a market top, or at least a top in the stock they "wuv with all their hearts", to use his phrase (drives them into a frenzy, which is the goal). One more contrarian indicator. These guys are lab rats. Under stress they become aggressive, and bite everything in sight. When the stock is going up, they go back to their little wheels and spin happily.

Howard, It doesn't bother me, as I can always hit the Ignore button once I find out a poster will be a jerk under any and all circumstances. For example, I have had many disagreements with gbh, but they have always been civil. A guy like Ian thinks Civil is a woman with 12 personalities and is on permanent Ignore. <g> And Brian started out nasty, then said he didn't mean his comments to be nasty, then went totally nuts. I was willing to try to dig up info to see if my memory is playing tricks and told him that. Since I couldn't get the material I needed in 4 hours, he went postal. Now he is Ignore forever. Nobody forces us to read each others' posts and some folks just need to be erased on impact. <g> The rest of you folks are o.k., even if you do disagree with me once in a while.
