Bird:

Don't blow what I said out of proportion. You know what I meant and you know how seriously I take everybody on this site.

Yes, I have a serious problem with Hollen. Why I can't boot him out, I don't know. I think what he does/did is pure spam. It is one thing to copy/paste something every now and then. But for every single breath you breathe on this site to be spam is quite annoying. That is where my problem lies. That's also, likely, why I can't boot the guy out. Because, at least he really isn't fighting with people and it's about stocks. If I can tone it down, then I've kept the stock content rolling, but yet, killed the spam flavor.

That's all I want. Stock posts. But pushing the threshold of stock posts by making 30-40 posts in a day and all of them copy/paste pushes my buttons.

I'd bend over backwards for Patsy, Arch, X, and anybody else here. I know what the life and blood of this site is. I hope I've made that clear by my actions in the past and present.

EDIT: About what I said "I don't care what Patsy, Arch, X think..." That line should be read similar to hearing your mother holler at you. "I Don't care what your friends at school do. You simply aren't going out tonight." In other words, I'm not disregarding what they, but rather, I have certain principles and rules (read: TOU) that I expect to be followed.

Hey, BoP,

".....and we thank you for your support....."!!

I had doused the coals and written the whole matter off as a "0" ROI situation, which wasn't worthy of further effort. I certainly appreciate your taking the time to comment however.

I at a juncture where, quoting James Conn in Thief, ".. I J.D.G.A.F. anymore...". iHub has been kind of a respite and hobby that took the edge off of a number of very difficult months. If my efforts aren't appreciated; "...pfsssssssssssssst..."!!

I think I've added considerable value and content to the place. Poked fun at a few yayhoo's, needled a few certifiable jerks, and made a reasonable effort to "..just get along..". However, I don't kiss any tush - never have, and never will.

I'm going to continue to support the boards I've started. And, I'm going to try and do that in a "moderate" (for me) manner - and other than that; screw it......... If I offend some pernicious nitpicker, c'est la guerre.

SI is dead. RB is a terminal landfill. Bobz, according to my last PING, is now toast. And, I'll betcha a dollor-to-a-donut a post/day chart on iHub right now looks like a stock price graph of Enron; until the former Bobzites show up..........

Onwards and upwards, Bubba.


John :-)





Park your Sub at the iHub - Bub; ....the experience might just "...float your boat..." !!
