Anonymous posters on an internet trading forum having a long cock contest. What's the point?

Ken; To screen for a two day high today does yesterdays low have to be lower than the prior day? Or just yesterdays high have to be lower than the prior day? Let me try again, if yesterday prints an inside bar can today be considered a 2 bar high.
