This is the way I see it.
Your computer was set on its homepage - whatever that might be. Let's just say ESPN.
Then you said 'hey' - I think I'll go to "elitetrader"
If the "Starting Over" thread did not exist, you would have only seen what is usually here:
Guys debating about Jim Cramer.
Guys debating about a high flying stock.
Guys debating about a nose dive stock.
Guys debating about forex.
Guys debating about prop firms/retail firms/trading software etc.
Why would you come here to get a "whiff" of all that stuff?
If the Starting Over thread wasn't here - what would there be for you to weigh in on? The future of PTR? or C? or the Dollar/Euro? Or how great/stupid Jim Cramer is? You are out of the biz - why would you care?
That is the stuff that is ALWAYS here. And you came here looking for it.
You didn't come here to advise the Starting Over guy - because
you could not have known his thread was here.
Now - If you are who you say you are - why don't you send the guy a PM and ask what his qualifications are and see if you can help find the man some work. With the understanding that he can do want ever he wants with his pay once he has earned it.
