I absolutely agree with you. I will remain with this list.
I have frequently used the delete button to remove entire threads
which I consider
boring or which do not apply to the type of investing I do. The
Clinton threads I kept
because they were fun, and said a lot about the thinking of all types
of investors. I even
appreciated the position of people with whom I disagree (hi Brooke).
In my experience, moderated lists tend to be sterile, depending on the
beliefs and
sensibilities to determine what is on topic. For others this might be
what is needed - to
each his own.
For those who contributed to the Clinton dialog who wrote with passion
and with humor -
Thank-you. I hope you stick around. The views of many are a major part
of a liberal
education. (liberal in a non-pejorative sense)
Best of everything to all.
