Hi vlanschot,
You overrate your ability to engender panic by several orders of
magnitude.
And yes, you cannot possibly imagine how I coped last week, nor this
week, nor during any week, unless you take the other side of my
trades.
I just find it strange that you had to announce that you sent a
private email -- on a public list.
Also, FWIW, I think I was part of this community before you were, and
I don't think it has changed that much.
You can go back to trying to look clever now; I won't attempt to get
into your way. But frankly, the bulk of the membership here is
probably not the least bit interested to know that you sent an email
to anyone who is a member of this list (or the list owner), the
contents of which they will probably never share.
And personally, I could not be less interested. But I find it
strange nonetheless.
