hi cousin shorty re, "I found it annoying that you continue to post very long messages about the same thing on a thread that was set up as a Q&A for the site admin" is that what this thread is set up for? then someone (bob?) must have lost track of that notion. i posted a very succinct message to bob about two days ago, <A HREF="http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=104017" target="_new">http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=104017</A> asking a question about the site.... first line of the message even reads, hey bob. but i never heard from him. maybe it's the long, drawn out, bickering posts that get the attention? :) mark
