Maybe not, but we are entitled to our opinions aren't we Bill . . . I am not
alone here, just so you know.

I am am sure he (MB) is very talented, better said an extremely talented
person, it is just intersting that I have seen him kicked off of so many
lists I have been on over the last 6-7 years,  must be the all the members
of the lists are wrong I quess or . . . maybe it is something else.  Yes I
am sure he can can rip anyone . . that is not the point . . . it is about
being civil, being additive, offering ideas, help with trading ideas,
trading wisdom (maybe he qualifies there, use computers and don't think) you
name it, but for one to respond to "each and every post" with sarcasm
detroys a list, from what I have seen.  Real traders has dropped in the
number and quality of posts from other lists (which are growing in posts)
that I also participate in.  The other lists have an appropriate "respect"
for other posters and frequently you see "thank you for sharing that", or be
it respectfully have you ever looked at it this way, whereas this list has a
totally different tone.  I compliment those who have tried to make it what
it was in the past, not a slaughter forum, for anyone who posts.
nuff said.
