Re: [RT] Until The Quants of The Board Are Gone

Trading Reference Links

I have exchanged mail with the list moderator and he has stated that life 
and travel has kept him from doing much with the real traders list.  I have 
offered to take the moderator job since he is too busy for it.  I told him 
that my idea was to have a "board" or team of a few of the older list 
members who would decide if any rules need added/deleted/changed and would 
further decide if anyone should be removed from the list.

I currently handle several mail lists as owner/moderator and as I am not 
employed outside trading, (sold my businesses in '97), I have the time to 
take care of the list if there are no objections.

You can mail your thoughts/support/complaints about this idea to George at 
rtmoderator@xxxxxxxxx or to me directly, if you wish.  (I do have mail 
routed to dev nul from thequaint and ric ingrem .. or whatever their names 
are), but would be pleased to hear your thoughts and ideas as to how we can 
keep our list together and keep the people on it who contribute the most.

We really need to get our list under control again.. .. It's a great group 
of people here but the constant discourtesy and psychological nonsense 
needs to go away and be replaced with consideration for others while 
sharing ideas and formulas for success.
