It's quite interesting you seem to think that OM needs to modify his
behavior.  Perhaps his response could have been more diplomatic (imagine
that, a trader who lacks diplomacy once in awhile...), but personally I find
the "whine and accuse without doing your homework " behavior that prompted
his response to be offensive and the behavior that needs to be modified.

I haven't found that character trait to be very conducive to trading (or any
other endeavor).  And those on the List that actually place trades know the
markets make OM look like a bleeding-heart liberal, so if you're that easily
offended and/or that quick to point the finger, perhaps trading isn't for
you.
