...please permit me to offer a conter argument. First, no self-respecting trader will post to Chit-Chat, it's undignified. Second, look at how many hits it got in so short a time, and ET is all about hits. Third, the question went straight to the core of the experience of cyberspace posting. When my daughter was eight months pregnant and couldn't work she did phone sex until the delivery (you may have talked to her, she was "Hi! I'm Sylvie, and I'm hot!"). My point is that no one here is what he projects (well, maybe Don Bright is), and that absent that all important sense of the physical reality of the person you don't know what to believe. I personally was gratified to see so many people whose posts I enjoy attracted like sharks to a bloated whale carcass.
