Hello Martin,
I think that your posting is a little unfair. I am not sure if you are
referring to any group members in particular but I must say that no
postings on this forum in recent times have evoked anything close to a
similar reaction in me. Sure, there are often questions posted that could
be answered by looking in the respective manual but, in my experience, not
everybody automatically thinks of doing that. Indeed, the apparently
obvious questions are sometimes quite thought-provoking and, personally
speaking, I have got answers here to questions that I would never even have
thought of asking.
There is no obligation to respond to any posting and the nature of the post
is more often than not pretty obvious immediately. So, if it is going to be
an irritation to you, why not just delete it immediately? What impresses me
are the regular contributors who are quick to respond to pleas for help,
however simple or stupid, and are extremely generous with their knowledge
and experience. Without the questions, the rest of us might never get to
hear these guys speak.
I also get the impression that you are a little contemptuous of people who
seem to be asking for something for nothing. Personally, I am in complete
agreement with what I think that you are saying, i.e. if one uses tools in
order to make money then those tools should be paid for. However, you may
not realise that, in addition to people who trade professionally or
part-time, there are many people who are attracted to the idea of trading
and enjoy associating with the trading community, hobby-traders if you
like, who do not actually trade. There is a chap who attends my investment
club meetings who has an in-depth knowledge of the market and is an expert
in several trading techniques. He occasionally lectures on various subjects
and he is actually pretty good at it. He has never placed a trade in his
life. Do I begrudge him collecting a bit of free software, downloading free
end-of-day prices and playing around with them in his spare time? No. As
far as I can see, people like him are doing none of us any harm whatsoever.
A forum such as this needs lots of input at all levels in order to stay
alive. I sincerely hope that nobody is ever reluctant to post because they
think that their contribution may not be worthy.
Viva la difference.
Regards,
Kevin
