I am a lawyer, I learned how to write, and I bought my first cmkx shares as a gamble before I even knew who the lawyer was (I found out later that night and would have sold if he wasn't impressive). I should have lied about all this so as to seem "less credible"? I'm not sure what your point is. Was it that lawyers who know how to write and purchase shares in cmkx should not post because people might listen to him? Could you please define the backgrounds of people who can post so that we know who we SHOULD be listening to. Apparently lawyers and writers are not among them. Are miners acceptable or do they seem too "credible" too? How about accountants? And by the way, what do you do? It better not be a profession that might add credibility because then, I guess I'd have to not trust you either.

By the way, thanks for the compliment on my English mastery (I don't think so, but thank you nonetheless). As much as I disagree with most of your posts, I gave this courtesy response more in deference to Susie Derkins, an offshoot of the true genius behind the brilliant writing of Bill Watterson.

Susie is right. Smart people shouldnt post. So glad she is here to save us all from the evil Zen.

Susie,

Thank you for sharing some of the history with me. Thank you also for your kind words.

Regardless of the past this board is for the purpose of discussing stocks. When the topic of discussion drifts away from stocks and toward anything else it's my job to direct those conversations to a more suitable forum. There are plenty of other places on Ihub where this may take place. In this way those who wish to read about stocks are spared the distraction of having to pick through posts of no concern to them.

When members insist on posting about topics other than that for which the board is designed they run the risk that those posts may be deleted.

Therefore, my advice is to make sure one finds a suitable board before engaging in any lengthy discussion here at Ihub.

Thanks again, Susie, for your kind words.
