It is shame that you have chosen to be childish.
Post whatever you want. Frankly, I couldn't care less.
Contrary to what you like to think, I do not dislike you,
although it sure seems like you enjoy it more when you think
people dislike you. It lets you play the martyr.
Unfortunately, all you really end up doing is making a fool of yourself.
But, that is a choice you obviously feel comfortable with.
I do, however, think that posting PMs is as low as someone can get.
Had my goal been to have your off-topic posts deleted,
I would have directed my comments to the board moderator
and not as a question to you. I guess I figured that you might
be more interested in taking the high road, but you have proven
that to be a false assumption on my part. Rest assured,
it will not happen again.

"... not kosher [to] post PMs... it has nothing to do
with anything meaningful here... ain't the issue.
Focus on the real issue(s). Nuff for now...... Troy[end.]
(iHub Reference)
Private Messages: ... Our policy is that we will not deliver
the contents of private messages to anyone... [stop.]
Troy, The
"[iHub, a.k.a. Bob & Matt] will not deliver Private Messages"
is a sentence fragmint that reminds me of my limitations
to contruck propeller Englsih words together in harmingie.
For example,
"we will not deliver the contents of private messages to anyone"
says that eventhought you can send and receive PMs,
iHub will not deliver them to you. As in you can place a letter
into a US Mailbox, but the post office will not deliver it.
The interpretation being used on this board for
"[iHub's] policy is that we will not deliver the contents
of private messages to anyone"
is in error when one says that Matt violated the clause.
The "will not deliver the contents" has a clear meaning
to folks who have an ability to read & understand above
what has been demo'ed on this Jailhouse board in regard
to saying Matt broke that promise.
The meaning of "will not deliver the contents" is iHub's stand
for the situation that a person being an iHub member or not
asks iHub to display or send them a PM made by a person
not of themselves, during a time frame and set of conditions.
What iHub members do with PMs they have received
and have access to in their mailbox or archieve is not part
of the Terms of Use agreement.
As for why is simply, PMs are a function of Trust & Respect.

AK,
One again i must say to you as i did a few weeks ago
on this Jailhouse board, you need to spend more time
outside the jail here and into the freedom air where life
and that called reality will help you prepare better for
things like me and other oddities in this world outside
them walls of the Jailhouse.
For example, you spoke of the Private Message you sent me
as being a part of this Jailhouse here. Well, yes in your mind,
but no not in iHub iReality.
Also best if you educate yourself in the scope of private where
yes it is not public, but no it is not secret like an oath taken
that sets rules & regulations upfront agreed to. This private
message utility is an honor system where both sides agree
in an unstated manner to respect each other in that to send
such a message is no difference to walking behind someone
and speaking into their ear or flashing a picture directly in front
of their eyes where they will see with a look without any first
decision being made by them if they want to hear or view something
that is hidden from the public so activity can go the travesty route.
or
Guess you need to realize that a Private Message requires
much more respect for a persons' privacy than a public message
since one already in a public posting mode has signaled to all
through their continuation of public postings a degree of acceptance
in the manner displayed on the public board. But these private messages
when used for the first time between folks need ground rules that
can only be acknowledged with a direct give & take of conditions
that set up where the communications can travel. Sure some folks
in their public posts display an "anything goes" and even to a point
that they make it clear that they are holding back and would rather
"let it all hang out" in public and thusly especially in private.
Now AK hopefully you are getting a better feel for this because
we must move on to your next area of needing help, and this is
for you to understand what you posted to me. Better yet let me
say that you have a troubled time telling between what you say
and what you do.
(from you to me)
You owe me an apology [for] msg-585663
(also from you to me)
(1) Private Message
"... Sorry if I offended you... but that IS the Jailhouse humor..."
(2) Private Message
gotmilk, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but...
the types of barbs and ribald humor The Jailhouse [does]...
... post something FUNNY on the thread, or at least a bad pun.
Thanks. Enjoy your weekend. AK
[end.]
ok and now you state the state of affairs on this Jailhouse board
as being wellllllllllllllllll "of barbs and ribald humor" and when it is
done towards you:
You owe me an apology [for] msg-585663 is your reply.
Well, guess you and them others here seem to be threaten
when one as i arrive here and don't play submissive to your
fun & games, but ask for a real discussion to take place
to determine the how & why this Jailhouse exist for real
and not for you in the pee & nut gallery to clown around in.

(2.) The best weapon against "facts" is "fear" !!
Dear GGraessle,
While I recently did a spurious attack on your above name,
please allow me to include it here for those that need help.
"Grass does not grow on top of a hole."
Now this has a similiarity to that gold mine investment offer,
where it is spoken:
"At the bottom of every gold mine is a miner,
but at the top is always a lier."
Its just how 99% of them penny gold mines stay in business
year and year without any "metal on the table" produced,
but each Friday paychecks are written to employees
using the cashed mined from sucker investors,
those that heard about the miner under the hole,
but mistaken as his words those words spoken by...
... ya'up, "...at the top is always a lier."
Rather than continue talking to those scared of getting "milk"
let me do an abrupt stop here and simply lay out your words,
Yes Virginia, Message In Reply To:
Solution is simple - start your own board.
This is Investor's Hub not SI.
(or)
Message Received by those having no milk to help:
Duh, Gosh, Well, GGraessle tells me the solution is simple,
and but well bells of not being well i can tell things have not
gone well, as we all can tell.
(or)
Us unMilks best follow GGrassle, else we will not be well,
eventhought we can not tell whats makes or unmakes a well.

A Week with Richebächer in Cannes
by Jim Willie CB
September 12, 2003
http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/editorials/willie/0912.htm
... had the rare privilege of meeting Kurt Richebächer on invitation.
He had read my Ass-Backward Economics series of articles.
In a trans-Atlantic telephone call, he stated his appreciation
for my grasp of the gravity of the situation.
We each believe a breakdown in the US Economy is a certainty,
our government statistics are replete with deceptive fraud,
current imbalances are beyond remedy,
and the world investment community is being drawn into a trap.
He extends his view, expecting a catastrophic outcome
for the world economy and its financial markets...

nightmarish administrators cause administrative nightmares

it's an art putting together the right questions.
I think you said, should long articles be posted... and what came to my mind was should they be allowed which might make people answer differently.
For example, on the link question, I don't care for it when someone only posts the link because it takes extra time to bring the article up because I am on dial up and there's almost always bunches of graphics that take forever to load. So I voted "no". But if you asked me if I would allow just posting just the links, I'd say "yes". It's not really a problem, but a convenience and preference. See where I'm going?
Bottomline for me, is that posts should NOT be deleted based on those kinds of posting style preferences... only for violating iHub TOU such as vulgarity, personal attacks, etc. If someone has a major problem with a particular person's posting style, they have the ignore feature to solve the problem.
One other thing, is I do think a link should be provided when posting an article in case someone wants to double check the reference. On a stock board, that is a must because of abuses I've seen in the past where articles were edited and not the same as the original.
I pretty much asked the same question two different ways and figured if I got 5 yes answers for the first question I would get 5 no answers for the second and vice versa.
It's not happening that way!!!!!
<ggg>
Thanks Susie, I voted :)
I'd also like to see a survey about whether or not boards should be allowed special rules. For me, that's the crux of the problem and facilitates moderator abuse.
I have taken the liberty of taking a survey on the RANTS-PA controversy of whether or not posting entire articles should be allowed.
It means nothing, but I am curious. I will be posting this message on all the boards that I think have people who might be interested. #board-1724
This iBox can function in three modes:
1. Enforce the TOU as primary, and board's iBox as secondary.
2. Enforce the board's iBox as primary, and the TOU as secondary.
3. Enforce the board's iBox and a subset of the TOU.
I vote for a forth option... only iHUB TOU is enforced on all boards... iBox is for information only, no special rules. Allowing individual iBox rules causes too much confusion and conflict amongst posters and an administrative nightmare.
Have a good day!

Phosphorus for Plant Growth versus Lake Eutrophication
(from prior post url)
Most phosphoric acid is used in the production of fertilizers.
Phosphorus is one of the elements essential for plant growth.
Organic phosphates are the compounds which provide the energy
for most of the chemical reactions that occur in living cells.
... enriching soils with phosphate fertilizers enhances plant growth.
Increasing the phosphate concentration in surface waters
also enhances the growth of aquatic plant life.
Run-off from fertilized farm lands stimulate plant growth in lakes
and streams. Waste water containing phosphates from detergents
have the same effect.
Lakes rich in plant nutrients suffer from accelerated eutrophication.
When the lush aquatic plant growth in a nutrient-rich lake dies,
the decomposition of the dead plant material consumes
dissolved oxygen. This consumption reduces the level
of dissolved oxygen to a point where it is insufficient
to support animal life...

Phosphoric Acid & Osteoporosis (or) Aspartame & Brain Tumor

#msg-1435329 ... and many (but not all) soft drinks
contains substantial amounts of Phosphoric acid.
Unfortunately, the only way the body can excrete
excess phosphorous is in the form of calcium phosphate.
Thus, when excess phosphorous need to be discharged,
the good old body looks around for calcium,
find some in the bones and discharge it...
Result, depletion of calcium and eventually osteoporosis....
#msg-1436157 ... aspartame involved in a number of ailments,
... able to carry molecules through the "blood /brain" barrier
that otherwise would not go through [possible] involvement
with an increase in some rare brain cancers...

Chemical of the Week -- Phosphoric Acid H3PO4
http://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/chemweek/H3PO4/H3PO4.html
Most of the acid (about 80%) is used in the production
of agricultural fertilizers, with the remainder being used
for detergent additives (about 10%), cleaners, insecticide
production, and cattle feed additives.
In the steel industry, it is used to clean and rust-proof...
It is also used as a flavoring agent in carbonated beverages,
beer, jams and jellies, and cheeses.
In foods, phosphoric acid provides a tart, acidic flavor.

Mr. Milk...
No board is as cool as Derfs Grotto!
This board wantobe more cool than Derf's Grotto :o)
lol...that explains it...
Topic & Focus:
Under what conditions is an iHub member prevented to fullfil
his or her quest to supply information to show that anothers
views are wrong and harmful to next years tomato crop.
Very soon Sheriff Matt's patrol car will turn into a pumpkin.
So far Sheriff Matt has refused to kiss a frog or horny toad.
If my Russian friends are successful in taking control of iHub,
then before Matt can burp, mmMary will be the new Sheriff.
Imagine this only with barf bag near.
