Ric,
I like to think that I am in that happy little band which doesn't give a
fig which way the market goes, and have in general felt that yr. post
have general merit and suspect that I am one of the few readers left.
However, in this case, I feel that your last attack is both unwarranted
and lacking in judgement at best. I am beginning to believe that you have
neither traded nor grown in experience. "
Thank you for expressing your feelings.   
I think you have taken up the defence for Sue, thinking she has been
subject to an unwarranted attack.
If this were true, there might be some sense in your intention, if not in
the vehemence of your approach.
But if you read the email again, you will find no such attack, merely the
statement of opinion about speculation on future price being an example
of a common situation - namely letting minor pleasures (in this case
speculation on future price) get in the way of making money.
If you read the words, without a fog of emotion, you will see that I
specifically said "I respect your individual right to gain pleasure
in prediction...".
If that is consistent with your perception of an attack, then I plead
guilty.
Perhaps, your reaction is another example of exercise of emotions - this
time getting in the way of your perceiving the content and purpose of the
email.
You will no doubt find many others to agree with your emotions and
emotionally clouded interpretation.
So you are doing an excellent job of proving my point by the nature (as
opposed to the content) of your very reaction.
Think before emoting.  It is good for the bottom line.
Maybe your strong emotional reaction is trying to tell you something
about your own behaviour - if this were true, it would not be the first
time such a reflection was true.
Good luck.
May your potential be realised, Ric.
