Elmer, HailMary, I certainly prefer discussions on how to make money. That does really include technical discussions of new products, and competitive comparisons - the meat & potatoes for the fundamentals invester. (Of course, it also includes news on other sector companies, discussions of trading strategies, discussions of financials and how to understand them, market technicals on this and other sector stocks, etc.)

I write this in the general, about the overall tone of these boards and not any particular posters:

I'd prefer a less rahh-rahh tone and more of a just the facts, mamm tone. Factually extolling the virtues and problems of your company (or competition) is useful; gloating, baiting and putdowns are not. Cherry-picking facts to bolster an argument while purposely looking away from the contrary facts is worse than useless - it is misleading.

I should probably keep tighter standards on the messages for which I reply, simply passing over those that that set a less useful or overly contrary tone for the board.

I'd really rather make money. Then I can keep doing fun stuff, like going to the Top of the Mark for our anniversary brunch & 49r pregame broadcast tommorrow. We are both looking forward to that! :)
