Hi Tony and RT Admin

I normally stay out of these type of
issues. However, given what I perceive to
be the decline in the quality of RT
posts in the past few months, I am making
an exception in this case.

I can understand why Tony has taken his
view. On the other hand, Norm is saying that
you don't need to monitor the mkt intra day
in order to make money. He is also setting out 
his credentials. I can't see any evidence of
SPAMMING.

One of the pattern of posts that has been taking place
on RT, is advice is sought, that advice is given, 
someone takes offence at the advice says so, and the
original contributor "disappears". 

Another pattern is the "challenging of the qualifications"
of the person replying. 

"How do I your know your advice is worth following?"

While I think the question is worth asking, how can we 
then complain of SPAMMING when the qualifications are
setout before the challenge?

RT used to be a worthwhile group. Hopefully this is only
a temporary slump. Demanding that experienced traders
be expelled for SPAMMING under these circumstances is 
not the way to do it.
