There is some truth, or a kind of truth, to your implicit position - that as soon as one has "taken a side," one has lost one's objectivity. The problem is that preservation of absolute objectivity would in this analysis require total and permanent non-participation, even in making arguments...

Well eschewze me: Your meaning becomes clear when you confess that underhanded and pointless rhetorical tactics are just fine with you for your own use. It's only when "editorialists" use them, that you have a problem. So, I understand what you meant, but I still find it rather odd that you...

I'm not sure what combination of insufferably pretentious, deeply deluded, reflexively hostile, and pathetically ill-informed you are. I do know that you commenced your contributions to this thread with insults aimed at me personally, and that you continually ramble on in this pseudo-familiar...

What I said was: I don't deny, haven't denied, haven't made any statements that I believe could reasonably be construed to deny, and don't believe that any intelligent observer could deny or would want to deny, that oil was "a major factor." I see nothing wrong with most of your...

I'm rather dubious about arguing with you about any subject whatsoever, partly because you've demonstrated personal hostility towards me since the first post of yours I ever noticed, but mainly because I have no trust either in your reading comprehension skills or in the state of your...

I've had no problems with 7.1 on Win2k (other than the lagging data problem that this thread began with), but I did notice discussion of problems involving excessive CPU usage etc. on the TSWorld site in the 7.1 support area. I seem to recall that a manual fix was provided, and that it MAY have...

Once you start down the road, as it were, of purchasing a car for the sake of the image you believe it projects, then you will be in for disappointment, even shame. There's always going to be another car that's more macho, prestigious, sexy, powerful, unusual, intelligent, fun - whatever. Even...

Rather minor issues, and still debatable ones, IMO - and, anyway, what a non-story, especially relating to the larger issue of this thread (unexpectedly risen from the dead, I see). If you think feelings and beliefs about America derive from such items - specific disagreements over the...

Another comment I find hard to understand. Why should "the debate" end? What is "immediate credibility," and why should anyone care what the continuation of "the debate" says about it? This thread began with an essay that provided one set of possible answers to the famous question, focusing...

Again, as previously, I have to wonder what you even think you're saying. How does a leak get plugged with a pipe to Wall Street, and what is that supposed to have to do with Elite Trader policy? You seem to be suggesting that the vast right-wing conspiracy is so vast, powerful, and paranoid...

I can't tell what you think you're saying.

Interesting - just noticed this thread after doing some of my own pissing and moaning over on the Tradestation thread. There are other uniquely TS-related problems taking place at the moment, but TS did claim that Bell South/the backbone was the reason for particular problems today. Though...

On the issue of civilian casualties, please re-read my post, as I addressed the issue directly. As for this new report, it doesn't say what you think it says, or what you would like it to say. CNN has been running this story all day. The following link contains responses from the Pentagon...

Do you know what the word "eschew" means? Let me "try again": Your criticize others for substituting personal attacks for arguments on substance, yet that's exactly what you did in your response to the Coulter piece. THAT is hypocrisy. Do you know what the word "hypocrisy" means...

"[S]ome wrong (if any)"? You have some doubts? You think maybe my buddies and me somehow forced THE GUARDIAN, over there in the UK, to accept our "twisted logic," and go through the embarrassment of retracting two items in two days, one of them a Page 1 feature? Or is it possible that THE...

We're so lucky to have tatertrader to SHOW us how to argue, aren't we? Notice how his response to the Ann Coulter piece on liberals' reaction to Iraq eschewed personal attacks, name-calling, and self-righteous indignation, and instead went right to the substance of the matter (Iraq policy)...

No doubt Bell South also forced them to delay the upgrade another week.

Yeah, well, I feel like whining some more, too. Got up this morning in a foul mood, partly because of the newly announced "get our shit together finally" delay. As usual, the data was virtually useless throughout the morning move. I also tried re-booting. Finally got it up and running, more...

Put one angry post up on Tradestationworld under the "delayed futures data" thread. I invite the rest of you to do the same. https://www.tradestationworld.com/discussions/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=11989 And one more thing: AAAAAAAAAARGH!

DAMN IT! What a horrible decision. All this week, I've been counting the days... telling myself, just five, four, three, two, one more days of dealing with this crap (virtually EVERY MORNING when there's any kind of decent move going on), and then either getting a good feed or moving...
