I'm just catching up on the day's postings.

Thanks for noticing and pointing out to the board, the inconsistencies from a couple of posters.

The poster who mentioned possible "red flags", failed to remain subtle, as I am sure he intended, but instead, his post stood out like........well......a red flag.

We longs have been through this before. There is absolutely nothing wrong with negative posts, as long as they are accompanied by a true, and logical explanation, and do not represent a major turnaround in opinion for no apparent reason.

We should all be interested in hearing the truth, good or bad. The worst thing we could do would be to unrealistically pump each other up. I think we have a good balance on this board, which makes its existence worthwhile.

I also think brief humour, and personal comments make the board more interesting. I feel I know many of the posters from those remarks, and from inbox/personal messages exchanged with many.

I do notice however, that some posters seem to post for the sake of posting. Soon, we will all be "Presidents". There was one thread today, of relatively low importance, (sorry, no offence intended) that was like the Energizer Bunny....it just kept going and going.

Several other good posts today.....Herb, Fantomas, D12, happyappie6, QQ.......Thanks all

Holding with confidence, Canseco
