A public thanks and hello to all. It's nice to be back. I will be limited to 3 posts per day for at least 2 weeks. I need to prove that I can obey the rules and be a role model for posters. Mods posts should be the standard for all and I hope I can do that. I apologize to all for losing my temper when our TIVU PPS was dropping like a lead weight. It's hard to remain calm and free of emotion when you watch your stock finally get some legs only to have the rug swept out from underneath you, especially when others come out of the word work with their "I told you so's." My emotions may have been higher than others because of my involvement with TIVU. Knowing retail was going to take their profits was one thing, but when VERT showed up, that was another. My world came crashing down because I was told there were no new shares coming to the market. I began to feel like I was used and lied to. Try having those feelings and then read a long time basher post and see if you can remain civil.
Getting banned was actually quite good for me. I was able to see that I was spending way too much time posting things that were unnecessary and not spending enough time trading. The most difficult was reading the board and not being able to bring rational thought into the discussion. I felt the board got so bad that I had to just stop reading it. I really hope that the board can turn around. It's hard when there isn't news and there's obvious dilution, on top of a history of those very same things. I'm going to use 1 post in the morning, 1 around lunch, and 1 in the afternoon. Who knows, maybe this will be my new pattern - fewer posts with more substance.
I am long and not going anywhere. We have much to be concerned about, but we also have hope in Philly. Our hope rests in Philly.

Shout it, JSteel, SMTC!!
