chevy - No, you are not a new investor. In fact, you would be the elder had you joined this board 2 days sooner. You joined the day after I did in 2006.
As far as the pictures go - I, personally think that keeping them posted after everyone here has had plenty of chances to see them , is in poor taste and presents a very unprofessional appearance to any new investor coming to explore the board.
That is just my opinion. I don't even remember HOW they got posted, but it might be time to re-evaluate their purpose after this much time. BWDIK ?
