[amibroker] Re: 'Rule Based' versus 'Discretionary' trading...

Actually I did, and my reaction is as much aimed at TJ as others. My 
argument is valid: this thread has become a growing list of requests

rules of engagement for this group, I'm just pointing them out to 
keep some order. This should be TJ's responsibility.
