Scrooge. Your decision to encourage posters
to keep active, and involved with the site, is well supported by history. There is nothing like apathy to hurt any endeavor.
Sometimes we are all involved with other things that keep us from the enjoyment of posting, and keeping current with the people who have become so central to our investment life, as well as, our personal happiness and joy. So, the ebb and flow of posting will, by necessity, be like waves breaking on the shore. Sometimes it is just a quiet lapping of small waves, and sometimes those laps are 10, 12 feet tall.....
Keep in mind that even when people are not posting, they have not dried up and blown away. Sometimes they have decided that holding and waiting is the best strategy.
My encouragement to everyone would be to keep on keeping on; and, remember that success is not a destination, but rather a constant and continuous effort to keep involved and winning more than we lose. Old cliche'? Winners never quit, and quitters never win.....
