Well, after a week of being in the ET penalty box (it was about 18 days, not just two weeks), I wandered back here in anon mode, just to keep abreast of the latest threads. Imagine my surprise when I see a user starting a whole thread about me, and then today after logging in I see I got a PM from another user asking if I am literally OK on the same day this thread was created. Geez, I didn't think I was that important. My piker trading certainly does not grant me any worth. My thoughts on this thread and the whole thing in general... A. I have been put in the penalty box once or twice before, usually about losing control with dropping F-Bombs in trading threads. Well, I learned my lesson on that one and don't do that anymore. B. This is first time I have been put in the ETPB (ElitleTraderPenaltyBox) for video-related stuff, so I have learned my lesson there, too. It has always been my posting style (for 25+ years) to use audio/video aids to help compliment the point I am making or highlighting in a thread. I never thought it a big deal, because in my view, if you don't want to be annoyed by a vid, THEN DON'T CLICK THE VID! Just gloss over it. I dunno, maybe some people have video auto-play set to on in their browsers. I think some browsers have that setting, depending on O/S. But I thought it a clever way to get people to use their minds to try to figure out the connection, like a puzzle. I love puzzles. K, doesn't work for many. So OK OK, I get the point, Baron (By the way, I know which thread set you off, and apologies for that one.) So now best I can do is the workaround of burying the link into response text, so it is not in peoples' faces in a trading-related thread. If that is acceptable, @Baron ? C. Funniest comment in the thread was dest going "F the Super Bowl, I'm gonna refresh this all day." Wry humor at it's zenith, man. D. I see the war with dest and Dawn is still raging. Thought that if a script for the movie could be made, it could be titled "From Dest 'til Dawn". E. Worst part of having a penalty for half a month is losing the cookie ability of being logged in, so now there are 35 pages of "new posts". LOL! Anyways, good to be back. And like the AF Conference game, I think tonight it will be Chiefs win by 3. Actual score is tough to ponder. 33-30? Just a guess, heh.
Sorta like bad sex, the anticipation was better than the Event. Can we ban him again Baron, so we can do it all over again?
