Egotism. "Yo, peasants, Tyler Stone is here. Be in awe." Yawn. Anybody else voting to move this waste of bandwidth to Chit Chat?
SunTrader - the point was to introduce myself. Just as I would do if I actually met you guys in person. (remember... I'm new to the whole forum thing...)
Sorry if to you it seemed "high and mighty". In person I tend to have a sense of humor, which I realize some people lack... then again, I guess there's a reason I spent my time meeting people in person instead of having 1000's of posts under my name already. I am a people person, I enjoy life and have an unbearable tendency to take things as lightly as possible - including my introduction to you guys. If in this forum it is more polite to stay as a nameless, unpersonalized drone then please forgive me my humanity. It's my mother's fault for giving birth to me so many years ago... she too was human (oh the horror of it!) and taught me to try to be social with people. tsk...tsk... tsk...
Ok, okay. But just so you know. I come to these trading forum (and most everyone else) to interact and hey maybe learn a thing or two. Not to "meet" others. Although nothing wrong with that though. Ever listen to talk radio with topic to call in and give an opinion or ask a question? 1000's maybe tens of 1000's of listeners following the program. It annoys the f... out of me when a caller starts off: 1st time caller, long time listener, love your show, how are you, your the best, yada yada. In other words we are not live long buddies who just bumped into each other on a street corner after so many years. Getting to the point ... is the point.
My thoughts. We are all free to make up our own mind, if we don't like something then we can just move on and not bother. It is silly to get personal on the internet over a discussion, unless of course you are one of those people who use online dating sites. J_S
