As you can see by my post count, I'm more of a lurker than active poster on ET and won't be recognized by most or all of you. But I've been an ET member long enough to know that only a handful of ET'ers actually have professional experience in the trading industry, usually in Chicago or NY, and Des is one of them.
We should be grateful that these folks even entertain our posts, as most experienced traders have little patience for questions from novices. For many of us, including myself, our only contact with experienced, successful traders is through an online forum like this. And if you've worked around successful people in any business, you know they often have strong personalities and that just comes along with the benefits of learning from their experience. Buck up and appreciate them.
I, for one, would like to encourage experienced traders like Des to continue participating in this forum. If any particular ET member offends you, put them on ignore. But don't speak for the rest of us because you have thin skin.
