Ira,
Your contributions here have been significant as have many other
members. I am sadded to know your health is all it could be but I
can relate to that personally. Having said that, let's look
at the fundamentals of this situation and see if we can't agree or agree
to disagree.
There is a web site that you contribute to and it is run by your former
students who have now become your friends. It is easier for you to
refer people to that site where you have posted information than it is to
repeat it here or anywhere else. No one is forced to go to the web
site if they choose not to do so.
I believe that pretty much covers your position.
Now, my position is that this web site is a for profit site and
regardless of who is running it, we do not want this list turned into a
trolling site for profit. You have mentioned/stated the list url
many, many, times and anyone who wishes to see what you post there is
welcome to visit the site without any prompts from you here.
Earl doesn't like the idea of people posting nothing more than a url on
this list and we must respect his wishes as we do all members.
Therefore, I ask that you stop sending mails here with that url as the
topic or the subject matter and I hope you will continue your membership
on Realtraders and share your vast trove of information and knowledge
with us as time and health permits. I do not ask that you comply
with this because I respect Earl's wishes more than your own but merely
because what I am asking of you complies with previously set guidelines
on this topic.
All best,
Bob

I am sorry that I have caused such a controversy. I
too have been on this site for many years and have contributed on
numerous occasions. As I contribute to several groups I thought
that it would be easier to do so on a web site. I had my own site
for a year and didn't want to keep it up any longer for health
reasons. Two past students of mine started the delta 100 site and
I contribute there from time to time. If the site is of no
value to Earl then he doesn't have to go there. They, for now, have
an excellent track record with a winning percentage of over 80%, the last
time I looked. When I first posted here using the web site I stated
that they were preparing the site to have a pay section. I did not
try to hide anything from anyone. There will also be a free section
from what I understand at the moment. I in no way tried to seduce
anyone with false or misleading information. In fact in one of my
posts I stated that it was free and was going to go pay and to take
advantage of it while you can for free. Earl, I feel what I post
might be useful to some. Like all information it is useless to
almost everyone because very few choose to make use of the information
put forth by others. The web site does allow me to post my opinions
and views on the various markets and not have to take the abuse that has
so often been a part of this and other sites. If my posts have
offended you, I am sorry. I hope that in spite of it all that you
do have a happy and fruitful holiday season.

- Earl, if most/all of your problem with the current process is Ira's
posts, I'm sure we can ask him to limit his mails which refer people to
the web site to only those mails which offer some personal and
professional view of the markets. When I agreed to allow ads, it
was with the distinct understanding that they would only be allowed by
people who were regular contributors to this list and a regular
contribution does not include simply sending a url for a web site.
- So, I ask that you give me another chance to rectify what is
bothering you and I ask that Ira refrain from sending posts which offer
nothing more than a web site address. If that address has not
changed recently, I'm sure anyone here who wants it, already has it,
anyway.

- I've had about all
I can take of this kind of post (example below) which (IMO) a) is nothing
more than one more in a stream of advertisements for a website, b) links
to a website which pretty obviously (to me anyway) is being prepared as a
subscription site, and c) contributes no meaningful information for
discussion. I find this to be a radical departure from the kind of posts
which members such as Clyde contribute.

- I have complained
about this previously and before posting this message sent a message to
BobsKS, our moderator. He has more or less declined to take action other
than taking another poll on the matter which as he put it "doubt it
will pass".

- I first joined the
RT list probably 8-10 years ago when there was active discussion of
trading ideas, techniques, and charts. That ceased to be the case some
years ago, however there were occasional posts which I found interesting.
Since I find the results of the current permissiveness exceedingly
distasteful and the RT content offers little value to me personally, I
have decided to leave the list.
