The poll and thread were started to gauge two things: 1) Was there a majority interest in the reports? 2) If so, how often would folks like to see them?
I have not see any the replies nor the results of the poll since late last night. Many of the replies I did see were ignorant, malicious and unfounded. After logging in, I now see that the thread has been removed. Accussations of "blatant commercialism" have yet to be backed up by anything other than one's very subjective opinion. When authoring the reports, I exercised strict caution to insure "no commercialism", so that the net result was advice and education. My 200+ posts stand for themselves, they are public, until they are removed, and open for anyone to extract any statement that exudes commericalism. The burden of proof rests upon the accusers, anything less than blatant proof, is nothing more than self-serving malice. All of us have seen blatant snake oiling here, and if you see my participation here as such, that is a testament to your conditioning. You will see nothing else but advice, help and the sharing of knowledge.
It appears that on ET, one can only proclaim themselves as a successful trader, when they are allowed to by several members. There is nothing in ET's policy that tells someone not to refer to themselves as successful, and stops them from providing helpful information here. I may one day become a paid advertiser here, and I can assure you that the thanks and support from some and the bashing and smearing by others will shape that decision.
My participation here on ET is not geared toward generating revenue, its getting to know all of you. Now that many of you helped me know you better, by your posts, I reassess what I will share in open forums, and the time I take doing so.
ET management will tell me what the next step of the reports will be here on ET.
