Ron (and any others that are interested),
There is a list on Yahoo! groups
http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/equismetastock
that also has discussions.  There seems to be a broader variety
of posting levels and a generally supportive learning environment. 
I follow and try to contribute to both this list and the Yahoo! list. 
That other list is moderately active and makes a good supplement
to this one.

You can add my name to the list of people complaining
about the angry,
"personal attack" type postings populating this group.  Overall,
the quality
of this group as a learning experience for Metastock is not very good,
and
these types of unsavory postings are a large part of that problem. 
Free
speech is one thing; but for those of us who are serious students of
Metastock and TA this is nothing but noise.  I support users rights
to
criticize Metastock and Equis; but not the right to criticize each
other
personally.  It would be really nice if this group had a friendly,
supportive atmosphere; instead of the fearful angry one dominated by
basically 2 groups: first, the "negative, angry" posters; and second,
the
super-sophisticated users who don't want to reveal any of the inner
workings
of their "secret" systems, but have apparently been on Metastock for
a long
time and therefore have some sort of seniority. The latter group discusses
to the nth degree advanced programming concepts that the average user
will
probably never be able to even understand, much less use in actual
trading.
Never have I seen a trading group that was less conducive to
less-experienced users than this one.  There just doesn't seem
to be any
middle ground.
