@yted Thanks Man...I'm still here. I do think that Post to which I responded was out of line.....from one who himself never Posts on HC. I can't Report, as is now on Ignore list (which is senseless since he never Posts except once, to chastise me). He shares that special privilege with with S**l (an early member of that list, the first, I think).
It's very easy, and violates no rules at all, to just read Boards, and not Post....certainly it can save a lot of time! I'm sure many do it.
I used to be an enthusiastic contributor to World Events, Economics, Forex (as I follow the dollar), and Oil and Gas (given the importance of oil) both "commodities, as is gold, technically, despite it's status as a precious metal.. I just spend less time there now.
I find the people on this Board very helpful, well read, thoughtful, realistic, and they know their Shiite.
