You are right breakeven. There is always the ignore option barbus. Use it if you get annoyed by someone's posts.

Well, it's both, since the bickering is also off-topic. I just wish that both groups - the ones who like to argue, as well as the ones just having fun, would realize how rude it is to the bulk of members on the forum who aren't as outspoken.
Per RC rules:
12) Off-topic posts/threads will be moved/removed without any notice. Read the forum
description.
Acknowledging that your post doesn't belong and then doing it anyway is both juvenile and rude. I really don't know how to ask any more politely than I already have. Maybe you don't understand how thread topics work - the discussion should have something to do with the actual topic. This thread's topic refers to this post:
Good Very Early Morning . . .
I bumped into an old friend of mine named Chuck @ the Lacrosse game up @ Princeton today . .
Chuck is a very creative stockbroker who made a ton of money back in 1998-2002 trading mostly on line / in foreign stocks / & mostly in Russian stocks . . . Part of my reason for going & standing in the heat was in hopes that he would be there . . .
We talked about the ISX for a little while, and then I asked him a hypothetical question . . . “Without electronic trading, how long would it take him to place a considerable size buy order on the Iraq Stock Exchange?”
“About fifteen minutes,” he answered . . . “I have several colleagues that I am sure have connections that could get that done.”
Point is: At the current exchange rate brokers outside Iraq will find a way to buy up Huge blocks of any stocks associated with building & re-building housing, roads, bridges, pipelines [ water, oil, gas ], refining, drilling, etc. . . .
BTW: Chuck has been waiting to jump in on this soon-to-be feeding frenzy / and hopes there is no RV until he fills his portfolios . . .
No phone updates, remember time differences / my best time to call / & be called is around 5 am eastern time . . .
I gotta get some sleep / I’ll be around later today . . .
Best to all . . . RR . . .
If you don't have something pertinent to add, try to keep your hands off of the keyboard. If you read something upsetting to you, go to PM if you are unable to keep your hands off the keyboard. If you are 'just having fun' go to PM or the crazy thread, or start another joke thread. It's ok to start more threads, but please stop destroying the existing ones. Please bear in mind that what you think is funny might not be funny to others. Even if it is, you can all find your chuckles on the crazy thread. If you are just bored, keep your hands off the keyboard. If you feel an undeniable urge to argue with this post, take it to PM, start a 'I'm tired of zipper griping' thread, or best yet, maintain silence. I do appreciate the many excellent posts contributed by many of you that I am hoping will take this to heart; unfortunately the 'ignore' button can't screen good posts from irrelevant ones. If it could, I would use it. All I can do is ask that you mind the forum rules out of respect for other forum members - just some common courtesy. Thank you.
Soooo . . . Inscrut . . . that guy *Pat* was your stealthy / sneaky spy-guy huh . . . L.O.L. . . . I spent 5 mins. with him on the phone . . . he said he was a contractor & I even tried to sell him one or our $2,000.00 Bos'uns chair Rescue & Safety systems . . . he asked me for a brochure . . . then put me on hold & then hung up . . . L.O.L. again . . .
No news of any real interest . . .
Also spoke again with my stock friend Chuck . . . he has already picked out 15 stocks that he is ready to invest US$100K in each. . . Before you ask . . . he mentioned a few names . . . but I can't & won't share . . .
When I asked him what he is waiting for, he replied, "No way in He$$ am I . . . [or anyone I know] . . . gonna invest that kinda money in return for a *PROXY* . . . a small investment, okay . . . but not a big one . . ." . . .
I checked out the poll, but not much more . . .
