Oops--You were eavesdropping!!! <GGG>
Zeev, I personally think that you walk the line pretty well. The danger is that when someone throws out numbers without giving an idea or how they were derived it will prevent critical thinking. One is left with the option of either following the guru or not following the guru. Those that follow the guru become sloobering lap dogs. Those that do not become ankle biters. In your case, I actually think that the ankle biters are wrong.
Why, because I think that anyone who reads you regularly gets a pretty good sense of what is going on behind the curtain. You often do spend the time to give a background for your thinking. In your case, I was not really criticizing your style but just pointing out that even your style can cause less cautious readers to become either groupies or ankle biters. I do not mean for you to change your style. Just poitning out the inherent dangers even at your quite informative end of the scale. I do believe that you provide enough for your readers to think independently. I apologize for what clearly can be read as a scathing criticism of your work. In my brain, it was just a point of interest that even your well-informed thread generates ankle-biters and groupies because the turnips are proprietary. I should have said "Even Zeev's thread which does not throw out numbers but does use a proprietary system generates the same kind of ill will at times"
At the other end of the scale, things are far more dangerous to critical thinking IMHO. However, I must point out that even though Jeff's posts often gave me indigestion, they were quite helpful to my trading. :)
Best regards.
