UDC...thank you for your post. Got a good laugh from it!!!!
Maybe you shud re-read what I have written AGAIN and then read what you have answered!!!
1. This IS a public site. No hiding it.
2. This site is owned by someone and it has it set of rules. Dont talk about freedom to me. I gave a suggestion...NOT a RULE!!!
3. On one hand you agree that the threads are a mess and searches are not opitmal yet on the other hand you say "Don't limit". Make up your mind. Order or systematic organization does NOT equal Chaos. At the same time, having a system in place does not mean a persons FREEDOM has been taken away. Try telling that to your Boss at work tomorrow. Best of Luck!!!
4. Freshness in a business and sharing site?? For a title?? Give me a break!!! Try to be "creative" and apply all the "freshness" you want to your trades. It is your money. Odds are you will lose it with your "creativeness" instead of following some rules. Maybe for you, the stock index shud also now be creative and re-FRESH with some exotic titles on a daily basis. And dont give me **** that the posts are "illegal" while the index etc are not. Neither are the posts illegal nor is sharing a link illegal. What you do with that link is the matter that can get you prosecuted. IF they find you.
5. As for communities "dying" cuz they super private. That is YOUR opinion. YOUR view. YOUR experience. Which not necesarily is reality. From what I have seen, is that folks on the "outside" literally beg to be let into these private "communities". I belong to a few super private site and literally there are 100's of request everyday for invites or recommendations. If a site is super private, then it is kept so to weed out the bad apples over a period of time and then take in a new lot of members. Leakers and troublemakers are not welcomed at ANY site. How does one know whether a member is a good member or not??? Only TIME shows and tells the Admin/Mods so.
6. Lazy??!!! Wow!! Presumptious to the limit!!!! It was a suggestion to improve things for the members out here. Like you stated, which I did too, that threads are a mess. You PRESUME that I did not do my bit of searching or try to keep my responses in the correct thread. Check my posts and you will see that I did so. Presume all you want with your trades and the market but not on any other person. Either way you will be the loser only.
Maybe that 2nd box you posted equates to the space between your ears.
