I for one will be sad if Rick Ratchford really stops his contributions.
 Sure, he can be touchy at times, but he (like Walt Downs and several others)
has taken a tremendous amount of time writing to this group, and I can
understand why he might feel a little irritated at times by criticism.  

I must admit that I have not always been able to use his advice to the best
advantage, and have been a little frustrated with his responses...it has
seemed like there is always a reason why I shouldn't have traded the way I
thought he was suggesting...but he has always responded to my queries and or
implied criticism, and I have no complaints in that respect.

Now, finally, on my 3rd or possibly 4th attempt to use his advice
advantageously, I have a profitable trade going in Dec Lean Hogs, and I would
hate to see him (or Walt, for that matter) just disapper from the forum.

 I "actually" made one of my larger profit trades this year on the Short
 Hog Call.  I make my own analysis but looked at Rick's work as
 confirmation.  
 
 People mouth off all the time, here and everywhere else I have ever
 been.  In fact, I have stuck my foot in my mouth numerous times.  It's
 just that my ego does not allow me to apologize or retrack my statements
 sometimes.  Then I just resolve to not get myself into such a situation
 again.  Situation being, receiving a stream of recriminations.
