Pardon me.. but I don't think anyone who doesn't trade and talk stock talk and analyze has the right to 'quote policy' and have any say in what can and can't be done on IHUB. Those of us who spend virtually 11 hours trading and another 4 hours analyzing and research will not tolerate the 'couch potatoes' who do nothing but attempt to put their foot into everything to quote policy. Policy can only be determined by qualified individuals like Bob who do it for a living. Others are just doppelgangers who have no idea what its like to actually trade and teach but only know how easy it is to PRETEND TO HAVE AN IDEA of what its actually like.

IT IS ONLY IN THE HANDS OF ACTUAL TRADERS and I for one would totally dismiss anyone with about as much knowledge of the trading world and the message boards as my Shih Tsu who just learned to do his 'business' outside after 6 weeks. I don't think there is even a controversy here. THOSE WHO SPEND HOURS and HOURS PONTIFICATING have no idea and would be totally PARALYZED if actually facing the trading arena.... Those who would trade, trade, those who pontificate have no qualifications for anything and should sit on the couch with a big bag of fritos, open Jerry Springer and start to root for his home team.


If one has shown no ability to trade, analyze or know a stock from a kumquat, can't quote policy and will absolutely no credibility and whose only accomplishment is the ability to start a thread and pontificate.. That's all the time I have for this discussion. Some of us trade and have a real day job.

Harassment ... hmmm .... I doubt that one I personally would use ever because it is so broad. Stalking come under peronal attacks and thread disruption. Also most everything can come under the existing ones. I agree if someone asks a mere question of that nature that is not any at all.

Pardon me.. but I don't think anyone who doesn't develop or run websites and talk Java, COM, Corba, SQL, etc. has the right to 'quote policy' and have any say in what can and can't be done on IHUB. Those of us who spend virtually 11 hours designing, coding and debugging and another 4 hours analyzing and research will not tolerate the 'couch potatoes' who do nothing but attempt to put their foot into everything to quote policy. Policy can only be determined by qualified individuals like Bob who do it for a living. Others are just doppelgangers who have no idea what its like to actually write software and teach but only know how easy it is to PRETEND TO HAVE AN IDEA of what its actually like.

IT IS ONLY IN THE HANDS OF ACTUAL PROGRAMMERS and I for one would totally dismiss anyone with about as much knowledge of the trading world and the message boards as my pet goat who just learned to do his 'business' outside after 6 weeks. I don't think there is even a controversy here. THOSE WHO SPEND HOURS and HOURS PONTIFICATING have no idea and would be totally PARALYZED if actually facing the software arena.... Those who would code, code, those who pontificate have no qualifications for anything and should sit on the couch with a big bag of fritos, watch WWF Smackdown! and start to root for his home team.

If one has shown no ability to code, analyze or know a bit from a byte , can't quote policy and will have absolutely no credibility and whose only accomplishment is the ability to start a thread and pontificate.. That's all the time I have for this discussion. Some of us write programs and have a real day job.

PS What in the heck is a doppelganger? Sounds like an STD to me!

Hi Bob

I have a question for you.

When I go to my favorites, click on the name of the poster to read their posts, I notice that the posts that have
....This message has been removed by the Chairman!.......
does not show up in the posters' daily posts.

I also noticed that when I click on the thread header, there is also missing numbers where this post is still there, but no mention of it in the overall posts posted for that day.

Is there any particular reason why iHub has set this up this way so one cannot see that the particular poster has had their message removed by a Chairman yet it shows they did post a message that was removed?

Enquiring mind wanted to know.

Also, does iHub plan to have a Hot Subject List like SI has, most bookmarked thread or a Hot Stocktalk list like the one on the home page of SI?

Thanks and have a great weekend everyone
