Hello Bonus,
I saw your post concerning discussion on the mental aspects of how and why things occur as they do on these chat boards.
No offense to you, as I am sure you are a wonderful person, but I am going to defer to RP ( The Real Poet ) who also is in the field of Mental Health. I really have no desire to be part of internet chat boards. Please do not take offense to this, as it is not a reflection on you, I just do not think internet chat boards are productive ways to spend your time, and I don't plan on doing so.
I do this for a living. The last thing I want to do with any little spare time I have, is chat and discuss what I do 60 hours every week.
Also, needless to say, this parking lot is the last place in the world you will catch me after today. This particular chat board is filled with many troubled individual, and I don't think I will even bother lurking here either, let alone posting.
Again, no offense to you.
Wish you the best and some advice - as you and maybe 3 other people seem to be the only sane people on this chat board, why continue to post? Why not go someplace else, a little more sane. No need to answer- it was more of a suggestion then a question.
best to you,
Greg
First, to all you people that are implying that Keith and I are one in the same. Ha! That's pretty funny. Like I say in this coming post, I really don't care what you people think, but my guess is Keith won't take this lightly. From what I see of him, he does not back down easily, especially when threats and attacks are thrown his way.
And for all of you that think we are one in the same, A) I think that says alot about your personalities and own insecurities and B) If this was true, and we were one in the same, I was under the impression that IHUB Admin could PROVE this as fact, as it is a IHUB TOS violation. If so, I wonder why IHUB would knowingly allow this to happen?
Again, I will just say WOW!!- Now my post I wote up earlier this morning :
To All.
I came in last night and my wife ( who plays on the internet far more then I) told me I received an e-mail from Keith telling me I "need to go to the parking lot, and defend my honor".
Ha! I will tell you folks the same thing I told Keith. I have no desire whatsoever to "defend my honor", in such a place as the parking lot. I will not post here, I do not think it is a healthy environment and I don't think keith should post there as well. This place is a complete joke, filled with emotionally challenged individuals with nothing better to do then fester their problems and seek attention. I am also very surprised that IHUB Administration lets this type of discussion take place, however, I really don't care. I have no intention of posting here, I don't care what anybody has to say about me. You folks can trash me until your heart is content. It matters not to me.
I will repeat- my only reason for showing up here in the first place was to say hello to Vendit and see if there was anyway possible for Keith and Vendit to 'kiss and make up'. Based on Vendits response, which I felt was rather "stand offish", this is not a possibility, so I see no reason to push the issue. It is not my problem.
I then came over here to the parking lot, mainly to just say, WOW! Amazing to me that IHUB lets this type of banter happen, but then again, I really don't care what they do, as I do not plan to be a part of this forum- especially so, after seeing what IHUB allows to happen on these threads. I personaly see alot of Biases flying around. Certain posts from certain people being deleted, while others are not. I see a place like this parking lot, which does nothing but create more problems, not solve them, as Ihub seems to think it will do by keeping the fighting here and off the threads. This parking lot is a disaster waiting to happen, and I am sorry IHUB's Administration can not see that the idea is good, but they need to draw a much finer line as to what is allowed to be posted and what is not.
To be honest, I was not even going to come here this morning and say a word. As I said, I have no desire to "defend myself" against the likes of folks on this chat board- you people do and say whatever you want- I don't care. The reason I decided to post was in response to a post made by TC ( I think I have the name right) in which he stated he felt the only reason myself and Keith posted on Vendits thread, was to disrupt that thread. I can only say : How Ridiculous! I think it is very apparent by the number of posts and the content, as Keith already pointed out, that this is just not true, and honestly, I did take offense to that remark.
My intentions were nothing but good. Vendit, for whatever reason, treated me very rudely. I told him that and moved on. I certainly did not hang around his thread to cause any disruptions, and I think the written word in itself, speaks the truth on that matter. At the same time, after reviewing Vendits thread, I did not see keith being disruptive either. I saw him tell Vendit he thought he was rude to treat me as he did, which I think is an accurate assesement. Nor did I see keith post "numerous disruptive posts". In fact, I see very little posting from him on that thread, and I sure couldn't find anything wrong with what he said.
Additionaly, I believe you mentioned you deleted his post on Vendits thread because it should have been posted here. Keiths' response was he felt the post should be posted on Vendits thread, because that is where I posted, that is where Vendit responded to me, and therfor, I agree that his post should have been posted on Vedits thread, not the parking lot. Keiths' contention that he had to post it here so there would be a record of the post, seems pretty accurate to me, as I now see that his post was deleted from Vendits thread. How am I, or anybody else supposed to draw a conclusion, if we cannot read the post?? In this instance, it looks as though Keith did the right thing. I was able to read the post here on the parking lot and draw my own conclusion. Had Keith not posted it here, I would be unable to do so. And my conclusion is I saw nothing wrong with the post that was deleted. Why it was deleted, I don't know, and don't care, but it is readily apparent there was nothing in the post to cause it's deletion from Vendits thread, which is where it belonged.
In closing, let me say I think this board is very unhealthy and folks that post here need to get a grip on reality- and that means Keith as well. I have often told him how unproductive these chat boards are, yet for some reason, his class A personality keeps him posting and that is his choice, although, I see he is taking a more low down, humorous approach to this, instead of letting it get him in an uproar, which is a good thing.
To IHUB : As an unbiased view from the outside I see many things that are not "kosher" happening on this site. It does not take a rocket scientist to see the many injustices caused and the unhealthy manner in which you let this parking lot operate.
Just My Opinion Of Course, which I don't expect anybody to heed.
I am gone from here. All you people have fun. I will not be back to defend myself, defend Keith or anybody else. You people may think, say and do as you please. I really don't care, and can' t see why anybody else would.
Sincerely
Greg
Ha, no, can't say as I do, and I surely hope none of my patients are part of the lunacy I found present on this board. If so, I am not doing a very good job <g>
Seriously, I won't mention names, but there are some disturbed people on this thread. The activities they are engaging in, is not a healthful form of therapy. Just my opinion.
Best,
Greg
No problem RP. I agree with all you say.
Wish you the best,
Greg
By the way, how do you know Keith? Do you Climb?
Best,
Greg
Matt,
Just an opinion for your consideration.
Lastly, in thinking last night, I actually think that maybe Matt and Bob may have something with this parking lot thread, however, it does need some kinks worked out. First, the reason I don't visit most chat boards is because of all this particular crap we are seeing happening right here. The idea of making Stock Threads for stock discussion only, is a great idea. Keep the fights and off topic discussion off of the real threads, and give the attacking and fighting folk a place to do just that.
However, I still feel a line needs to be drawn, even here in the parking lot. As a trained professional in Mental Health, I can honestly say that the extent of what is allowed here is not good for an unbalanced individual. A place like this, where "anything goes", allows people with serious mental disabilities, to fester those disabilities and get worse, not better.
I do think the thread is a good idea for people with disagreements to come and air out their differances, but they need to make more rules then just no vulgar language or sexual referances. It still needs to be a mature sight. Sure, let people fight, but lets draw a line in the sand and not allow ridiculous and childish fights to occur.
If folks have a real disagreement, then come here and fight it out- in a mature manner. If your sole purpose is just to stir up trouble and treat people with disrespect hoping to egg them into a fight, they should be banned. What Matt fails to realize is there are plenty of people like that. I think my character assesement on Paul was pretty good considering all I had to go by was his posts. But it is apparent he is just trying to egg somebody on, into an unnecessary fight, looking for attention, and GETTING IT when he finds a taker. And there are alot of Pauls out there. People that will show up here for that reason and that reason alone.
Trust me, this is not good therapy for one who has certain Mental problems that cause them to do what I am talking about. People like that need help. Allowing them to come here, for no reason other to pick a fight, and/or garner attention, is only making that person more mentally ill. A true disagreement, come here and work it out in a mature manner. Looking to pick a fight or get attention, ban them and send them over to Raging Bull, or to my office for therapy <g>.
I think I will copy my opinion and send it to Matt and be on my way.
Wish you the best
Greg
So you know Vendit, I assume by your reply. No need for me to back and look at the 'history', as I really am not in to these chat boards. I deal with troubled people every day. When I get home, the last thing I wish to do is see more troubled people on the internet.
I do lurk certain places from time to time, thats how I know Vendit. Obviously, by your post, you and he have had a falling out. May I ask one simple question? Has he changed since a year or two ago?
The Vendit I remember, is not the one I popped in to say hello to yesterday. I am wondering if maybe something happened over the last year to cause his attitude to change so abrubtly.
Keith told me that Him and Dealer ( yes, I lurk on the porch from time to time, but not often and have never posted there ) are good buddies, and that the minute he showed up over here on IHUB, Vendit pretty much gave him the cold shoulder. He said it was due to his friendship with dealer, and from lurking just occassionaly on the porch, it is very clear that dealer never cared much for Keith- and I can't necessarily say I blame her. Keith is one of those guys that speaks what is on his mind. He doesn't hold back his thoughts, that's for sure. Dealer seems to only want to accpet one line of thinking, which is fine, I don't know her so I can't say much more then what I see. Is this your take on things? I am just curious as to what happened to cause such a nice, well mannered guy, become so, how do I say, stand offish.

LOL
you said
--"First, you were the one that showed up here looking to warn us all of the physical prowess of your hero Keith. --"
That certainly is not why I showed up over here. I showed up over here to simply say "WOW". Keith mentioned it, I came here, never expected the looney tunes were so rampant, but he was correct. However, you are entitled to interpret why I came here any way you wish.
--"
Second, what makes you think you can reserve the right to take the final jab on your way out the door? Do you think you somehow trump my right to reply by writing the words...I would appreciate it if you would not post to me anymore? I would never follow you to another thread to continue our debate. However, don't think for a moment that I won't reserve my right to reply to any attack you make at me here or at any other thread."--
My intention was not to 'get the last jab', as you say. I just deal with people and their problems all day long. I have no desire to become a regular poster here, or anywhere else. So, with this in mind, you may feel free to post back to me after this post, and you can talk about my mother or whatever you wan't. I will not reply, and you may therefor have the last jab since it seem's to be of such importance to you.
--"Personally, I don't care who you are or what you write, however, one would have to be a complete moron to post that they are going pay for an airplane ticket to fly some stranger to their home to fight them, even though you're a professional shrink and believe that's a sign of somebody with self respect and confidence. "--
Yes, I do. I think it shows alot more self confidence and respect then talking big on some stupid board, and then admitting to lying about PO boxes and making ranting childish posts, simply looking for attention, which he is obviously receiving. And frankly, it is not as unusual as you may think to offer to fly in an opponent. It costs as much to take your wife and Two kids to see a Basketball game, then it would for a plane ticket. In this hobby/profession, many of the people are poor, blue collar types. Sometimes there get to be real grudges between these fighters, and yes, sometimes one will offer to pay to bring the other in for a fight. Bring the guy in, kick his butt, move one step further ahead. Now in this instance, keith wasn't looking to pay to bring in another fighter, he was just willing to pay to take out some frustration.
And although I cannot speak for Keith, I think he knew better and knew this Paul guy would not take him up on his offer, and it looks as if he was right, since Paul admitted to sending fake addresses and etc, and then lied about what Keith said in private- and yes, I read a copy of the PM he sent Paul. And Pauls response concerning keith requiring notes from attorneys and etc, etc,-well, lets just say the guy has quite an imagination and exaggeration seems to be one of his fine points.
--"Besides that you are indeed pathetic and the reason is simple. Somehow you believe you are going to win a war of words on a thread called, "the parking lot" by telling us all how tough your friend is in kick boxing. Your Internet debating skills seem to consist entirely of physical threats. Do you actually believe that telling anyone repeatedly about your friend's martial arts skills is going to win any Internet debate or is your intellect so weak that you must constantly default to crude forms of physical intimidation? "--
First, I am not trying to win a war of words. I'm a Head Dr.- Uh, Duh! As I said, I showed up here mainly to simply say, WOW!
Nor am I repeatedly telling you all how tough my friend is. We were discussing it, I believe I made a total of-how many posts? And I was simply stating the facts as they are, in reply to your post. Me, physically threatening you?? That's curious. Excactly when did I do this? Not only am I a non-threatening individual, I dont think I've been in a fight since the 5th grade, and I have no intent on starting now. How ludicrous a statement! Physical Intimidation? Me? Ha, I don't try to physically intimidate anyone. Intelectually, maybe, but certainly not physicaly. Ha, that was a good one, though.
__"
And for your further reference ultimate fighting champions are wrestlers, not martial artist. Martial artist get their ass handed to them by any wrestler that steps foot in to a ultimate fighting ring. It's also quite ironic that you would make a wild boast of unless you are in to the martial arts, which I doubt you are, you and your 5 friends couldn't take him down. Being that I spent my whole life competing as a wrestler I have no doubt that I could take down any kick boxer that dares raising a leg off the mat. "--
Ha, more good stuff. Who said anything about Ultimate Fighting. I said Kick Boxing. And as far as those Unskilled Ultimate fighters, the one's I have seen are certainly not wrestlers, they are mostly overweight macho big man, that normally get beat by a guy half their size with some skill. You think a specialist in the Martial Arts will get their Ass kicked by a wrestler? Ha, this would not happen in Ultimate fighting, let alone Kick Boxing, which is what I have been talking about anyway. Since you claim to be a wrestler, I can see why you may be biased and stand up for your sport, but if you honestly believe a wrestler stands a chance in the ring with a skilled kick boxer, you are living in dream land.
Lastly, interesting how you lambast one for physical threats, and mentioning their talents, yet you comment about how great a wrestler you are, have been competing your whole life and have no doubt that you would take down any kick boxer that dares to get in the ring with you. Any kickboxer, huh? Gee, that's pretty impressive. My guess is that Jackie Chan would hit you 14 times within a 2 or 3 second period, and you would look much more humbled then Lennox Lewis did last night. I also suspect, that Keith, or any other skilled Kick Boxer trained in the martial arts would have no problem with any wrestler. In fact, the idea is so preposterous, I don't even know why I am debating the issue. A wrestler vs a brown belt or better- Ha, sorry Mr. NY Hot Shot, but whether in a back ally, or in a wring, there is no wrestler, not even Dan Gable on his best day, that would stand a chance against a skilled kick boxer/martial artist.
Ok, you can now come back with some terrific retort and get in the last punch, since it is so important for you to do so. I will allow you to do so and will not reply back to you. I can't promise I won't laugh, however.
Greg
With all due respect intended, maybe you should remove the following line that opens and decribes this particular thread you started
--I created this thread to discuss whatever you have on YOUR mind.--
I really do mean that with all due respect. I just think it is very misleading to have that as your slogan, yet you were so quick to essentially tell me to get lost, for no real reason at all. I came here wishing you well and to say hello, yet you reacted as you did.
Again, me best,
Greg
Reid,
May I ask why the big attitude change with you? You are not the Reid I remember.
I came here in good faith and wished you well, yet you somehow found it offensive.
I don't understand or appreciate your arrogant attitude. I think it was uncalled for. I came here as your friend, wishing you well, and you cop some bitter attitude. Keith mentioned if I told you he and I were friends, you would not be very welcoming to me. I didn't believe him and am sorry to see that he was correct in his assesement.
I wish you well.
Greg
I was a little surprised myself at Matts response to Keith. Frankly, I would expect anybody with any self respect to stand up for themselves when attacked so rudely and childishly as Keith was attacked.
I know he took a bath in the market this past year and would love to take his frustration out for real on one of these childish morons that are egging him on. And gosh was I shocked to see some of the posts. If I were keith, I would want to kick some rear end also, and I haven't been in a fight since 5th grade<g>
By the way, do you know Vendit? Any idea what happened to him to cause him to change so much. The Vendit I used to know was very nice, welcoming and respectful. A class act guy. I posted to him earlier, wished him and his family well, told him I wished he and keith could let bygones be bygones- not a bad post at all. Like I said, i was very nice to him and wished him well. He basically told me to get lost. He is certainly not the same guy I remember from last year and year before. keith had mentioned he lost alot of respect for vendit. That is one of the reasons why I signed up to IHUB. I Like Keith alot. He's a super nice guy. I also had alot of respect for Vendit and thought it was ridiculous that these two fine people were no longer getting along. Funny thing is Keith mentioned if I told Vendit I was friends with him, I would not be welcomed by him. I did not believe this as i always thought he was a class act. But I guess I was proven wrong. Keith was right as Vendit was very arrogant in his reply to me, which I thought was rather rude considering I popped in to say hello and wish him well.
Back to lurking I go
Greg
Reid,
Excuse me. I have no desire to discuss this. I came to wish you well. No need for you to be so defensive. I believe the name of this thread was ask Vendit off topic questions. I am sorry you somehow found my post offensive.
May I suggest you take a long walk and relax. I came here to say hello, wish you well, and for some reason you seem to giving me a little slap in the face.
I am sorry I popped in to say hello and wish you and your family well and am sorry you feel the need to be so defensive. You certainly are not the Vendit I remember.
Best to you and yours
Greg
First, I would appreciate it if you would not post to me anymore. I don't plan on posting here much, as i deal with problem people all day, every day, and I dont need to also deal with it on the internet. Thats why I don't post much or read much on sites such as this.
Concerning your reply to me--"you and your friend are the biggest idiots here. Anyone that is into "martial arts" and wants to fight an opponent which he has NEVER met and knows NOTHING about is the epitome of idiocy. "--
How ridiculous. I suppose thats the differance between somebody with self respect and confidence and somebody with out either.
--"read the book Sun Tzu, The Art of War. If you ever had you would know that it's best to know your opponent before you challenge him to battle. "--
I don't need to read the book. In any sport, you should go in expecting to win, regardless of opponent. Any other attitude, would be self defeating. Additionaly, in the particular sport of kick boxing, one normally does not know much, if anything about his opponent prior to entering the ring. I have seen keith quite a few times, and I personally would not bet against him. Yes, I have seen him lose, but it's not often, and to be frank, unless you are in to the martial arts, which I doubt you are, you and your 5 friends couldn't take him down. As far as knowing one prior to challenging- you don't know Keith. He is confident and secure and does not mind challenges, in fact, he embraces them.
--"Not only are your internet skills greatly lacking but Keith's lack of control leads me to question not only his intelligence but his true mastery of martial arts. "--
I really am not concerned with what you question or don't question. Believe whatever you wish, it is a free country, and my desire is not to convince anybody of anything. I just thought that maybe a voice of reason would be a pleasant surprise over all the childish stuff you folks have been throwing back and forth.
I will be on my way now and you may continue with whatever you call this. It's a shame so many people have so much time to spend in such an unproductive manner.
Greg
Reid,
Thanks for the long and detailed reply. Like I said in my original post, I do not post much on any board. I prefer lurk mode much better for obvious reasons<g>. I went to the parking lot thread before I went to hit some golf balls earlier and was quite shocked at all that I read. Seem's quite a few people are in need of my services ( I am a shrink <g>) over there, but alas, I dont plan on posting there after this weekend. I just popped in to say hi and see what my buddy Keith was up to and to see if yall can let bygones be bygones.
I will enter back in to lurk mode as quickly as possible. I deal with irrational and troubled people all day, every day- the last thing I want is to be part of more irrational behavior found on places like SI, Raging Bull, and here on the parking lot-wow! is all I can say about that place. Now I know why Jerry Springer gets such good ratings<g>
Anyway, best to you and yours
Greg
By the way, I do agree with you on your views on penny stocks and the manipulation that surrounds them.
Off to catch my tee time-
Greg
Yes, I know all that about Keith. He loves cars, loves climbing ( although his wife is far better! ), skiing and is very into his training, especially so, as you mentioned, after a few health concerns popped up. I also know that he is a very talented fighter who I have watched fight in person and on TV ( espn, fx, usa ). I also know this past year has been very hard on him due to the lousy stock market and some deaths in the family and etc, etc.
What exactly is your point, other then to see who can be a bigger idiot, you or paul, if your not one in the same?
Greg
Keith,
I did as you said, and yep, you were right. I was pretty amazed after quickly scanning thru this thread<g>
To be honest with you, don't even waste your time responding to these people, especially Paul. He would benefit himself a whole lot more with a few few sessions on my couch, where we can find out the true roots to his obvious psychological problems, the he will benefit himself with going a few rounds with you. You may be able to beat the guys head in, you know it and I know it, but that's not what he needs. He needs serious therapy, not a butt whooping.
Enjoyed seeing you last night, sorry we couldn't hit the links today- maybe next weekend. My treat! After all, it's the only thing I can beat you at besides mind games<g>, and I love the challenge in turning someone like you that hates the game, into a "hooked Golfing addict". You need Golf in your life. You are always moving at breakneck speed, be it your climbing, car, skiing and etc,- You need to learn to slow down, be patient and enjoy, and golf is a great way to counter balance your crazy lifestyle. And I promise, once you slow down and learn the game and get good, you will be hooked.
Take it easy,
Greg "golf nut" O.
If you only knew how childish you look to an outsider looking in, you would be amazed. Or maybe that's what you wan't- to purposely act like a 5 year old and do your best to get under people's skin. If so, then this says an awful lot about the type of person you are.
I think it's a shame people, for no valid reason, act in the manner in which you do. You crave attention, and this is how you get it.
I don't know you and therfor won't pass pure judgement on you, however, your words tell an awful lot, as I described above. My profession leads me to believe your childish and attacking behavior is because you lack self respect, and look for ways to gain attention at the expense of others. Your words and actions also lead me to believe you are probably one of those guys with the "my fish was this big " story. 50:1 odd's say you tend to make up stories to impress your friends, exaggerate all your stories and probably even fake illnesses and injuries to garner attention.
Just thought I'd let you know how you look from the outside looking in. As a Trained Shrink it is not that difficult to ascertain that you need to seek professional help, if you are not already doing so.
Respectfully, and I hope you take it that way,
Greg
Again, let me say WOW!! When I was told I wasn't going to believe my eyes, I didn't believe it, but Double WOW!! Talk about the Jerry Springer show- This is a whole lot more entertaining.
Matt let me say this and then I'll be on my way. I think this thread is a novel idea, but after reading it quickly, you have some very sick individuals posting, many with multiple aliases I would suspect. You mention this thread is for entertainment, but there is a differance between entertainment and what is going on here. Like I said, all I can say is WOW!
I find it sickening that so much childish attacking is going on-like I said, WOW. I am sitting here reading all this in complete disbelief. I will say this, the only two people I know around here is Vendit and Keith (KG4), and they are both great guys. Vendit, I just know from the internet sites, as I have been a long time lurker, and Keith, I actually know personally as his wife taught me how to Rock Climb. Regardless what all these ridiculous posters say, Vendit and keith are class acts.
Lastly, you mention --". He was just stirring up a little trouble to whip somebody up in The Parking Lot..
Looks like he got ahold of the tiger by the tail!""--
Not only is keith one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, if you knew him, he is on of those guys you immediatly say "I want him on my team". I am amazed at all the childish people attacking this guy, in the childish manner in which they are and as far as your quote about trying to whip somebody up in the parking lot, trust me dear lads, they could put all 5 of you guys in a parking lot against keith, and my money would be on him. You are right about the getting hold of a Tiger by the tail-what normally happens if you grab a Tiger by the tail? More then likely that Tiger will turn around and bite your hand off. Trust me on this, you may want to, and wish to fight keith here on some stupid thread where all you can do is throw words, and very childish one's at that, but you do not wan't to be on this guys bad side in a real life fight, be it in a back alleyway, or inside a ring.
Absolutely amazing is all I can say. I will keep this site bookmarked, just for the ridiculous sheer nature of this place. Now I know why Jerry Springer has such a highly rated show<g>
I understand your the Sherrif around here<g>. All I can say is WOW! and let me copy and paste a post I made on Vendits thread.

Reid,
Call me an idiot, I don't mind <g>. Actually, the only reason I signed up here is not for investement advice. Like I said, I friend of mine told me about this place, told me some crazy stuff was going on with him, with you, with alot of people on some parking lot thread and etc. I've been lurking, but missed anything on the parking lot. I will try and locate that thread later and check it out.
I am almost afraid to tell you who my friend is, because you and he are obviously not the best of buddies anymore<g>, and I sure don't want to get on your bad side. My friend, Keith, KG4, is a really great guy. I know him personally, not just on the internet. I am going to tell you the same thing I told him. I will not pick sides in your dispute, but I do wish yall could kiss and make up <g>. Your two very fine people, who unfortunatly aren't seeing eye to eye on some things. I will say this about Keith, he does speak his mind, and he doesnt back down if he feels he is correct or is trying to get a point across. Sometimes people take this the wrong way. He is just a very determined individual and he doesn't back down when cornered. I really have no idea what yalls dispute is about. I lurked, but so many posts were deleted, it is hard to tell who was saying what to whom, or why<g>. From what Keith tells me, he was upset because he felt that somehow you were being given special treatment over others. Something about you were allowed to post whatever you wanted, but others could not. I have no idea what that's all about, and frankly don't care. I don't post on message boards, or very little anyway, and only signed up here at ihub to pop in and say hello to you and your family and to let you know that Keith is really a great guy, just as you are. I always lurked and followed you and always respected you. For that matter, so did Keith. he used to talk about you during the AOL days saying how much respect he had for you. Thats what led me to lurking and learning over on SI's Dell and AOL threads, plus your own threads. This is also why I found it so surprising last night when he told me, vaguely, what was going on with you two.
To close, I guess all I want to say is I wish both of you would just let bygones be bygones and become friends again, because as far as I can tell, you are both two class acts, and there is no reason you should be on opposing sides of any kind of fight or dispute.
Wishing you the best, and off to find this parking lot place. Keith said I won't believe my eyes when I get there. I doubt it can be that bad.

Hello there Reid, Long Time no talk to. Don't think we've spoken for about two years or more, but I have of course been lurking here and on SI for awhile. Don't belong to SI, as I don't wan't to pay, considering I never post- just lurk and learn . Actually, the only reason I signed up and registered here at ihub is cause a friend filled me in on some stuff so I've been lurking and checking everything out for myself. More on that in a minute.
Anyway, I went to cash mid last year when it looked bad for the markets, and recently reentered mostly techs. Whats your take on any possible pullback? Do you see us retesting our lows, or will we set higher lows and higher highs as we move towards next year. Just looking for your opinion, my friend. Am well aware all you can't predict exactly, but your DD has always been spot on!!
Thanks, best to you and your family,
Greg, the golf nut )
