My Harvey,
Aren't we sensitive.  I'd be glad to crawl back in my "Idahole"
and not comment any more.  Harley has "arrogantly" disseminated
horrendous trading information to the new and impressionable
list members.  I've only taken issue with in blatantly stupid
suggestion that Cargill controls the market.  In "Market
Wizards", Jack Schwager asked Michael Marcus: "What kinds of
misconceptions about the markets get people into trouble?" 
Marcus replied: "The foolish belief that there is conspiracy in
the markets."  So, if you or Harley would like to continue the
Cargill argument, I invite you to publicly lay out your
evidence.  Monotonous dribble is monotonous dribble.  I haven't
flamed anyone on this list and for me to say that Harley is
giving out dangerous information is more of a "public service",
than an attack.  Maybe it is arrogant, but, if my arrogance
saves some unsuspecting newbie from losing money, so be it.
Maybe monotonous dribble was the wrong choice of words.  How
about incredibly "bad advice".  Harley is trying had to impress
us with his running commentary (including his reports about
going to the bathroom, and how that affects his trades...now
there's a tip from the top).  I can't fault him for trying to
make a good impression.  That's important to some people.  It's
not important to me.  So, Harvey, the list will be penalized by
not having my unique stream of consciousness and pycho babble in
the future.  I'll cool my heals on the sidelines and communicate
to some of listmembers through personal emails.  You, sir, are
now appointed the Moral and Arrogance Guardian of the MetaStock
List.  Remember, Harvey, this applies to you, Harley and me: 
"The farther a monkey crawls up a tree, the more of his ass, you
can see." (Dr. Jerry West; American Thought and Language;
Michigan State University; Fall 1965).

As Dennis Miller used to say:  "I'm out of here."
