List members,
I totally endorse Neal's statement. Let's share ideas, not bash other's
ideas! I usually respond privately to members if I feel I can contribute
because, frankly, I don't need the hassle and vitriol from members who
don't agree with me. I am sure others feel the same way.
An observation: I think this list started to slip after it was
mentioned in "Technical analysis of Stocks and Commodities". Could this
have opened up a pandora's box?
