Quote from WaveTrader2004:
Leo,
My advice to you and I think you have a lot to offer is to start your own chat.
I am not going to provide my base of knowledge to you to do it. You have your own and are capable.
I put you in my room and not one of my guys canned me they liked you and that was great. So you see how it is.
I am not a taker I am a giver.
That's life pal.

Hi Bryce, thanks for your comments and encouragements to get my own chat. I will do that soon, and a few friends are already hell-bent on it, as well as a fair number of ET members and members of your room. I'd also like to have a forum, I'll probably go to ezboards or so. We'll see.
I'm glad to hear also that the people in your room liked me. I also received many personal emails of acknowledgment for "being a no-BS straight shooter just like Bryce", "helping and enabling them", and many other things. After the various "I want to be like Scientist and Bryce" emails, I must say I am very happy that I have found a way to help people, I can feel now that it truly fulfils me and I learn much myself, and it is something I will never be able to do in an uncontrolled environment like ET, or as broadly in one-on-one mentorship. I wonder how much continuing to share my methods etc will conflict with my interests of keeping them rather untransparent and possibly even cost me profits, plus lots of time, but I will have to think about a way to deal with this. I certainly don't want this to end up as a "charity that hurts myself", which is kind of getting that way right now (I've got IM's with questions and stuff popping up all day it's getting hard to stay focused sometimes), but I think that at the end of this tunnel, we will find a mutually beneficial solution and there will be a better future for all of us.
My first email to you today was written earlier, however today I'm feeling too wasted to even type, so everything I say comes from my heart and from the pain of my typing fingers - literally.
I don't think I'm going to be in the room today. I think I'm about as close to the bottom of my game as I could possibly be...
I've been partying all night, and after this many wines, beers and cocktails (mixing it all just to make things worse), I am enduring what has to be the mother of all hangovers. Unlike you, I don't drink regularly, or no more regularly than maybe a drink or two a month, so I have about as much tolerance to alcohol as a 60-lbs geisha girl.
My god, it's been a while since I swore never to be this STUPID again, but you tend to forget every few years, and you know what Aussie parties are like... --- ...
Also, the whole socialization experience was a major catalyst for my decision to attribute the top priority to preserving my privacy, anyonymity, etc. There is more to life than forums or showing how great your dick is (funny, my dick's the only thing that seems to work today lol but never mind the details). So don't worry I'm not just resigning because I'm terribly hung over. But resigning because I am happy for what I have, and don't want to compromise it with publicity etc.
I'm trying to get all the replies in, but my fingers hurt so much (since they're about my most-used muscles lol), even after a triple dose of Panadol, would you believe that. It wasn't till today either that I realized how much coordination and muscular tension your feet and legs really need balancing the clutch in a highly sensitive/responsive sports car transmission. Gosh, I drove out my driveway, then realized I'd better stay home today, and returned, all muscles aching.
So my apologies if I'm not very responsive at this point, and like I said, I certainly won't be trading today... Enjoy today and I'll get back to you later.
Yours sincerely in pain of punishment for stupidity, and very deservedly so...
S
