Like all longs I don't need to read the post (and haven't) to understand the extent of my losses and the mistakes I made. For folks in my situation the post can only serve as a painful reminder. Imo I believe it serves more of a "I/we told you so" purpose than as a warning to newbies incapable of doing their own research and it's darn well going to remain prominently posted until such time as one of the board's moderators who created it determines it's no longer necessary to "educate" newcomers or to stop "reminding" those who have suffered the most.
