ES I've enjoyed your insight and humor. Take a break, but don't leave. Strike a comprimise, and have Baron reset your counter to say... 1500 or 2500 if you wish. Like my Dad used to say, "Life's too short for unproductive friction." What he meant by that was solve the perceived problem as best you can, then get on with the mission at hand. In our case learning about, and implementing a good trading plan! Cheers to you and Wifey!
A quick and rough estimate of the time needed for 10000 posts and the necessary time required to read replies and such = aprox. 41 40 hours weeks or in his case almost 3 months worth of 40 hour work weeks per year. I'm guessing it's more because he posts in every heading and as his own wife so that must take much more time. Kind of sad really but some people do chose online lives over the real thing.
That made me chuckle! ... Wifey definately not BigMoose! I'm me, 53, almost retired aerospace engineer... 6' 6" and 295 lbs... This be me: You guys crack me up!!!
Could be worse! If I keep tradin' like I did last Thursday, I'll be living in a cardboard box under a bridge... Computer/software/DSL locked up... it wasn't pretty...
