I like seeing that 64 distinct entities actually voted. Sometimes I think this board is made up of five people talking to themselves.

I like seeing that 64 distinct entities actually voted. Sometimes I think this board is made up of five people talking to themselves. I am not sure I see 64 distinct entities - I see only 24 voters. And Tracy, as far as only 5 people talking, put yourself in my shoes for a day - I am not a sophisticated trader - As a matter of fact, I am a novice relative to most here and I try really hard to contribute when and where I can. My technical posts are mostly about POMO and SPX studies which for the most part are acknowledged with a thumbs up (which I really like). Other than those, most other posts seemingly go unnoticed and at times, seem to kill threads. I can't tell you how many times I have asked for thoughts or technical assistance with charts, some annonymous and some actually addressed to specific people only for most to go unnoticed - Boy, do I miss Torre!!! I get to the point where this place seems a bit clickish and that it would be a far better place without my participation - After all is said and done, I would never abandon Fastopia but might feel better being just a lurker. I know I have posted some mean-spirited things to some and for that I am sorry - For the most part, now I will bite my tongue or send a PM if I am bothered by something. I am a very genuine, straight-shooting happy go lucky person who happens to be in a real funk right now because my business partner of 14+ years is under investigation by the FBI/SEC for fraud and as a result, I am losing 65% of my business revenue shortly and may lose everything by years end. I really enjoy the comaradiere here and the personal friendships that have developed behind the scenes - I look forward to starting my day and first cup of coffee with you guys as well as taking a peak around 10:00pm to see who's stirring and what the next day might bring. I hate feeling like Mr. Irrelevant (last player in the NFL draft) but if that's what it takes to play in this league, then so be it - Dave

No one should feel their input to be of less value than anyone else's.
We ALL bring something here to the table - its up to all those dining on an individual basis to eat or not and it needs to be understood that most any and all input is appreciated...
...btw has anyone put out an APB or a BOLO on Herr Torrie?

It's easy for posts to get lost. I bump my posts all the time if no one answers. Private messages are the best way to get a direct response from someone.

My hat's off to you for making a partnership successful for 14 years. I've always vowed to NEVER partner with anyone because I've always feared I could never make it work (because of me). So I've always been a one man band. As far as your contributions to Fastopia: give me a break. You have 911 posts and 160 karma. Pretty good ratio if you ask me. I actually should smite you for your ignorant comments about yourself. But because I know you are still a fellow MVIS bagholder, I'll give you an Exalt! LOL...

You're beating me by one, and I voted for you ....I 'bout blew a beer thru my nose when I read yours. Hey Ex, when I read yours it reminded me of Roman Conquest and things like Manifest Destiny. I was actualy inspired!!! Then as I was sipping my beer I remembered that I had a mantra back in the 80s when I went out looking for women that went like this: I Saw, I Conquered, I Came!!

Congratulations to Exabi, Kbk and Ask!
With the tie for first two positions, do either of you have a preference on the prizes? i.e. prefer the gift card to the shuffle? If so let it be known ;D
