Dear Friends,

While I appreciate the emails from those who write who are not clear on something and have asked for additional info to help them get a better grasp of something I have written, I must ask many of you to please refrain from sending me emails asking me to clarify something that Jim has written that they do not understand. Please direct those emails to Jim or to Editor Dan who can forward them on to Jim.

Also, to those of you who want to send me links to bulletin boards or chat rooms, asking me to respond to comments posted thereon, please refrain from doing so. My opinions are contained in that which I write and are on display for anyone who wants to read them. I have found over the years that a goodly number of the people who post in forums such as bulletin boards or various blogs have their own agenda, and will wrest whatever statements they find to advance that agenda. I have also found that attempting to keep up with such drivel is a huge waste of time and time is the most valuable commodity that we all have. Some seem to have nothing better to do with this commodity than to squander it; that is their business, but it is not mine.

Sincerely,
Trader Dan
