The Art Of Throwing Out The Bathwater & Keeping The BabyConversations tend to take wrong turns sometimes and end up going places never intended.
A lesson I learned here at Stockhouse (at the Sproutly thread) was to never discount people automatically just because they were vehemently opposed to my POV. There was a poster there who had to have been born, bred, and reincarnated in Missouri (the "Show Me" State) and would not only pooh pooh our optimism but did so energetically and at almost every opportunity.
Lots of smart posters disagreed with him...but he was right in the end. SPR has essentially shut down and has not traded for several years now....despite this their web site is still up and full of aspirational statements.....
I say this because, even as I have called DD on excessively posting the same thing, and definitely had fun at his and at NXO expense with my "This Just In" and stupid stuff, he has also called me on my posts in the past and was right....and I learned from it.
So I urge everyone here to engage without attacking and stick to facts as much as possible.
