I also made a post concerning the lack of .gifs files these days, but somehow got
lost in the limbo.  As John Boggio had once reminded everyone, this is a traders'
forum and .gifs attachments are extremely important to the ONES who are serious
about trading and learning.  I honestly don't mind having new members to the list,
including the ones who absolutely doesn't know how to trade at all.....everyone has
to start somewhere.  It is when some of the new members starting to get abusive to
someone's commentaries or something that they don't  understand that really bothers
me.  I just don't understand why they don't take the time to inquire and to explore
others' methods of trading.  This kind of attitude has been hurting the forum badly
and it's getting worse.  Personally, I will send my .gifs whenever I consider
essential to let others to SEE my interpretations and/or my mistakes.  I welcome
constructive arguments because this is where I start to become a better trader.
You can call me a s***head for taking up your computer mbs but I really don't give
a damn.  Walt, BobR, Norm, Don, John Boggio, and the rest of the used-to-be
regulars, I miss your valuable contributions as well.  Regards.

Have a good one
