Where are you getting your info?

I was going to say that the opening comment was a "stupid fuckin' statement", but after reading thru a few more of these threads that the OP started (Port is that you?) I believe the more appropriate comment would be a stupid, fucking, ignorant comment as I believe that more accurately applies...

Everything Port does is utterly useless. But this handle is just a sock puppet for another member: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=148661
