Since You Post, You Must Be Short

Introduction Compact

I have posted on a lot of threads, but only have had a position in about 25% of the corresponding companies. I have always been bewildered by those that tell me that since I post on a thread, I must have a position in that company. I have never understood the logic behind such thought; it seems rather concrete. This thread is to hopefully establish a collection of links to such statements, and to invite comment on the thought process behind them. Maybe we can even estimate how many neurons are involved in such rigid thought.
