Hi Whitelake,
I can tell you this board is very, very, very tolerant. All one must do to confirm this is go to another board to see the invective spewed there. Mark has done none of that. The only thing I detect in Mark's post is frustration. I share his frustration. "Walk forward" testing is a well-known principle and without it all claims seem nothing more than hype. And, those making unfounded claims appear only to be trolling for customers.
I share your concern that peace should reign on this board - but peace must be based on truth. Anyway, in spite of the latest discussions, I find this to be a very peaceful board in comparision with many others.
Given the character of the participants here, I'm sure it will stay that way.
Matt
