I got on my PC tonight to find:
1. RB is completely different, for the worse;
2. IHUB was (or appeared to be) down;
3. SI is going offline on Sunday for "maintenance."
Will anybody be around on Monday?
Here is a free camera you can use:
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/3072/camera2.html
Here goes the neighborhood.
Next thing you know, people are going to be talking about stocks and such around here. I've heard about you pointy-fingerers.
I was hit with four emails today containing the goner worm, all from the same account.
Fortunately, I knew what to look for, and wiped em out.
But I had already read them, last week,
and the counter had been reset to zero.
Then today, with the deletions, it indicated
that he had 3 new posts.
That is the problem I'm trying to describe.
No biggie, just FYI.
I'm guessing SI will go the same way as Metacrawler, another of their affiliates.
Metacrawler was once arguably the best search engine out there. It is all that I used. Then, I noticed that the same search was frequently yielding large differences in the number of hits. The kicker was when I noticed that it didn't matter whether I selected "all" or "any" in my search criteria...it still looked for "any," which makes a big difference. I emailed Metacrawler a few times pointing these things out, but never got a response.
Then, looking for a temporary alternative, I discovered Google....and I have never looked back.
The same will probably happen with SI. Important features will stop being supported, admin will become irresponsive to user issues. People will look for a temporary alternative, and will just stay there.
Interestingly, it appears that there is a seller's market right now for SI. I think that both Matt and Bob have made discrete inquiries, and probably a few other folks that we don't know about. If Jain wanted to sell, now would be the time.
I aim to please!
Another reason for being here today:
Go2Net > Silicon Investor

Thank you again for your patience and assistance. And thanks for using the Silicon Investor!
I've been waiting for Matt to learn to appreciate me.
I think it's working. Every time Joemonkey opens his mouth, my submissions to IH seem more and more reasonable and relevant.
Nice grub.
Odd bug, FYI,
ON my favorites page I have cOUSIN SHORTY showing 3 new posts as of today, but when I link to his member page, not only are there not three new posts, but the posts of his that I read last week where he re-challenged Jenna to a stock picking contest were gone.
I have had this happen with other of my membermarks (not the deleting part), where it will suddenly show that someone has a new post, but as far as I can tell there is nothing new.
If there is no neutral between dark and light what would you call "dim"? As in "dim your lights".
As an adjective, I would call "dim" a condition of less than full or normal lighting. As a verb, I would say that dim is to reduce the intensity of lighting Neither is neutral. If there were such a thing as "neutral lighting," what would it be? Somewhere between the absolute light at the heart of the sun and the absolute lack of light at in the vacuum of a black hole? Nope. There is either light, or varying degrees of less light. Same applies to heat. Cranking up the AC does not add cold, it removes heat.
If there were a neutral state between light and dark, hot and cold, then surely it would be capable of being quantified in either lumens or degrees. To my knowledge, and aside from qualitative descriptions used by interior designers and the like, this has never been done.
I thought it was cute.
My mother-in-law, the Catholic School Principal, laughed so I figured it was safe.
Does he drive a limo?

IHUB, big deal, I don't care about ihub
The only people reading and posting are promoters and pump and dumpers. The ONLY people on npct board over there are two promoters. I also wasn't bashing. I was just pointing out that you aren't even truthful in your stock promotion disclaimer. You are a total hypester. In his disclaimer he states that his disclaimer may not even be truthful.

So is this a "poke at religion" thread?
???? "Poke" what?
Jest Angielski wasz jêzyk sekunda?
During a Papal audience, a business man approached the Pope and made this offer: Change the last line of the Lord's prayer from "give us this day our daily bread" to "give us this day our daily chicken." and KFC will donate 10 million dollars to Catholic charities. The Pope declined. 2 weeks later the man approached the Pope again. This time with a 50 million dollar offer. Again the Pope declined. A month later the man offers 100 million, this time the Pope accepts.
At a meeting of the Cardinals, The Pope announces his decision in the good news/bad news format. The good news is... that we have 100 million dollars for charities. The bad news is that we lost the Wonder Bread account.
Ummmmm......Errrrrr....Hey there Matt....
I was thinking about something today, and it occurred to me I ought to let you know.
As someone who has had his share of issues with you in your Admin/Owner capacity, it might surprise you to know that I have been greatly impressed by some of your decisions recently. You seem to have learned that it is sometimes better to be predictable and wrong, than arbitrary and right.
Because I have not spared the rod when giving you grief, I thought it only fair that I now say, "Nice job."
I have seen that story before,
in a much shorter and sillier version.
Yours is actually pretty good,
and somewhat thought provoking on the "no such thing as cold and darkness" front.
The argument loses its force as we move it into the metaphysical adjectives. While cold may well be simply a lack of heat, it is not at all clear that evil (assuming arguendo the existence of evil) is simply the absence of good. It seems to me that one can live one's life without engaging in good deeds, and he does not commit evil thereby. Leaving aside sins of omission, one who spends his days sitting under the bodhi tree is not exactly doing "good," but would appear to me to be in a state of moral neutrality rather than evil. That is the difference between these spiritual concepts of good, evil, moral, immoral.....and physical concepts such as light, dark, cold, hot. There is no neutral state between dark and light, hot and cold.
Is the cat away?
Any other mice around?
Actually,
I have come to the conclusion that your other alias is me, Quahog. Isn't it odd that both c.horn and Quahog post on so many of the same boards. Have you also noticed that we both include aerial photos in our profiles. Both are notorious cat defenders. Too many similarities.
I demand that I stop this deception.
For what it's worth, Matt:
I'm on board with the Executive Order. It is like ordering me to have ice cream after dinner....something I want to do anyway.
How is that that you didn't get included in the Executive Order?
The answer is so obvious, I should have figured it out myself....your other alias is:
IH Admin (Matt).
8)
To clarify:
I believe you are a jackass of the first order,
because primarily, at a time when this country
is coming together to try to heal and rebuild,
you have taken the opportunity to attempt to re-ignite old grudges.
It is, simply put, bad form.
Whatever your "project" is, include me or don't as you wish. I hope your project adds a little joy to your life.
Jackass
I was baptized as a Presbyterian.
My mother taught Sunday School.
My father believes he is the reincarnation of Moses.
I have read all of the Bible, the Koran, the Bagvat Gita,
I have spend a considerable amount of time studying Christianity, Hinduism and Buddism.
The Pope bestowed an Apostolic Blessing on my marriage, and I have the proof hanging on a wall in my house.
Based on all of the above, I can tell you that I have the firm opinion that God's feet smell like Fritos.
You hit the nail on the head.
The issue isn't whether one believes in God, but whether one should be able to joke about one.
And let's be clear....that silly Petition to the Lord was not exactly "over the top" offensive. In fact, the Petition acknowledges the existence of a God. The same people that were offended probably tell jokes about lawyers or others who find themselves at the pearly gates and are greeted by a none-too-impressed God, and these people probably enjoyed listening to the comedy of Sam Kineson.
When I mentioned that someone's "joke" about a cat being ripped apart by a rottweiler was in bad taste, Matt told me to lighten up because the author was simply being sarcastic. To me, that was offensive, and given the fact that I had recently seen just that thing happen....the "joke" caused me mental suffering. Nevertheless, I didn't report a TOS violation. I simply told the author that I thought he had a sick mind. His response was to make more references to cat killing. Bully for him; I moved on.
I could go on, but I'm off to enjoy the day.
Fine.
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=788
Which TOS did I violate?
Uh huh.
Why don't you, instead, just tell me how I have offended you.
Well, you know.....
Some people are offended by jokes about animals, and some people are offended by jokes about God and Haysoos.
Sorry if I caused you any discomfort.
You are a real laugh-riot.
All this talk about killing cats and the former first lady is first class comedy.
And then to finish off each post talking about hugging "grandkiddies,".......
I JUST CAN'T STOP LAUGHING.
EDIT: I see you've edited the post I am responding to about 4 times already. Don't recall anything about "fresh out of the box" in the first few installments.
It takes a really sick mind
to think up that post.
The fact that a discussion of spamming
caused your brain to create the image of a Rottweiler
ripping apart a calico cat is bad enough,
but for you then to not have the good judgment
to keep that image to yourself......
tee hee ???????
beyond bad taste

UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
LITIGATION RELEASE NO. 16500 / April 4, 2000
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Stephen B. Marek and Dominic Roelandt, No.Civ. 00-600-PHX-EHC (USDC D.Az.)
The Commission announced today that it has filed a federal court action to halt the fraudulent touting over the Internet of 35 microcap companies. The Commission's complaint names as defendants Dominic Roelandt of Belgium, using the name "Coldstocks," and Stephen B. Marek, formerly of Salome, Arizona and now located in British Columbia, using the names "BigProfitNews" and "Bulls-Eye Stocks." The complaint alleges that, often in combination, Roelandt and Marek touted the stocks in free e-mail newsletters and on Internet websites in the names of the three entities from at least June 1999 through March 17, 2000. The complaint further alleges that the e-mail messages or websites contained various false and misleading statements concerning the claimed performance of Marek's and Roelandt's past stock picks, their trading intentions, and compensation received by Marek. The Commission's action, filed in the U.S. District Court in Phoenix, Arizona, seeks a temporary restraining order to prohibit Roelandt and Marek from violating the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws, a freeze of Marek's assets, an accounting and repatriation of assets.
The complaint further alleges that nearly all of Roelandt's and Marek's touts caused the issuers' stock price and volume to increase significantly in the short term with most prices returning to pre-tout levels within a week or two. According to the complaint, in several instances, Roelandt and Marek sold their personal holdings in the stocks immediately after sending the e-mail messages to thousands of subscribers, thereby realizing at least $41,958 and $100,835 in profits, respectively.
The complaint alleges that Roelandt and Marek violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
The Commission wishes to thank the British Columbia Securities Commission for its assistance in this matter.

Congrats to you,
With 2 posts in the month of July,
you are nevertheless that month's
10th most popular iHum member!!!!
I see Bob is also right up there at number 6, and I am fairly certain his other 2 alias's would be around 7 and 8 if Matt hadn't taken them out of the running.
Other non-posters still listed as "Top Members":
Poet at 11;
cOUSIN SHORTIE at 17;
Svejk at 21;
Janice Shell at 27.
I would love to be able to have a conversation with Matt in 10 or 20 years, and hear how the years may have changed his perception of what he did right....and then very wrong with this venture. Maybe I would have done the same thing at his age....but it isn't often in life that one gets the chance he got....with the quality of members....and employees....and national news coverage......and then to piss it all away in favor of creating a place for touters, stalkers and their sub-normal IQ followers to congregate.........
It really is a shame. I mean it.
Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
Sorry Franchez,
I learned my French by hearing it, not reading it.
Now go take a cologne bath or whatever it is you french guys do.
Thanks in advance!
It occurs to me, Bob,
That at the end of my last post to you I said "Hasta Noche" when in fact I meant to say "Buenos Noche."
Just didn't want you to think that a 210 pound clam would be showing up at your doorstep this evening.
