Maybe Vikana or Baron got an aneurysm trying to understand it or lost money trying to trade it. In any event, it think it is gutless of the faithful to kvetch about the decision in the bowels of Chit-Chat where they get buried deeper every day rather than support my plea here right out in the open. I mean, if I, the Anti-Jack, want it back, that is at least SOME diverse support. (Oh, I forgot, none of them can see my posts!) I am utterly bereft at the thread's tumble from glory. For months it has been the only reason I came to ET. Pricking the pathetic bleats of the "Please hand me a system" sheep long ago exhausted my trove of synonyms for "stupid". Several times a day I would check to see if Jack had posted, so I could enrich my mastery of English syntax and of logical discourse. Oh, the joys I experienced printing his posts, cutting them up into individual sentences, and rearranging the mystical strips to make sense of them. Posts whose proud theme was "I make money, but not by Jacking" warmed my heart. What has become of ET? First DB was banished. Then Jack was humiliated by NWB's failure. Now this. And they try to blame it on me, forgetting that the best thread ever in Psych was thusly unjustly banished. But I don't hold a grudge. Bring Jack back!
