first hand experience

[Tom DeMark <tomdemark@xxxxxxxx>]

despite the distorted and incorrect beliefs professed by the few and
ubiquitous dubious detractors who vocalize on this network incessantly,
i personally can clarify a baseless misperception they promulgate
regarding stocks and commodites magazine from first hand experience.
undoubtedly, this communication will ignite a volley of nasty editorials
from a few of the psychological misfits and miscreants who complain and
distrust anything they read or hear but so be it.(NOTE: this is not
intended to discredit mark brown whom i sincerely believe often has
meaningful good intentions as his goal)

i have submitted an article or two to "stocks and commodities" and they
have accepted it(them) for publication. no solicitation for advetising
by mssrs. sweeney, hartl, or hutson has ever occurred--no quid pro quo.
in fact they were gracious enough to make suggestions and contributions
of their own to enhance the work. they were professional in every
respect.

my momma told me years ago to be skeptical of those who were critical of
others and made claims of unethical and suspicious conduct and motives
because they more than likely have such predilections themnselves and
are merely displacing their own feelings and personalities upon others.
it is the unsuspecting and positive person who is least likely to
posssess these negative character flaws and i can tell you from my
expereince many of those who criticize others on this forum without
first hand knowledge should be held most suspect.the staff of stocks and
commodities, just like those of CSI, are more focused on productive
gaols to even bother with such pettiness.
