Gee Al,

Now that LSU finally won another game, one would think that you would be in
a kinder, gentler mood.  Mr. Maas does trade (for a living) and without
exception, has contributed more information: article and http references,
formulas, and helpful  tips, than anyone who has posted to this forum.  Cut
the guy some slack if he thinks that Raff channels are horseshit.   You are
right about MetaStock consulting to him for future development.  

Equis has even consulted with me for their last couple releases and a
couple weeks ago, John Sweeney phoned me and we talked about 6.51 for 90
minutes on the phone.  Big deal, I don't "squat" compared to Ton
Maas...he's a jewel in the Equis crown.  Negative commentary about an
indicator or a chunk of software/hardware is one thing, personal attacks
are another.  Lighten up, LSU still might be able to salvage a 500%
season...maybe.
