    Hey V,

    You know I love and appreciate you, but you should start a blog or something. I, for sure, would subscribe to, and read, it.

    I could not help but keep reading this thread as it hops to the top of the list after a new post and there is a wealth of information and thought provoking statements. However, I was surprised that just over 60% of the posts on this thread are by "V". I could not help but count them up and do the math. Hence the "V's Blog" movement I suggest.

    Cheers amigo, Los Tigres host Campeche this week, Tues - Thurs. Off the cuff I am thinking Thurs (to give me the most time to get that dang INAPAM card that seems to be mired in red tape. The gal in the office does know me by sight and can identify my voice when I call, always addressing me as Sr. Thomas. Close enough. Are you in for Thurs.?

    Cheers,

    Thanks for calling people's attention to it, Sr Thomas!

    Not everyone would find such speculations interesting, but perhaps some do, and recently I've made an effort to explain some of the terms I've used, for the benefit of those who don't normally read financial news. I consider the relevance to this forum as mainly connected to those who are retired, and planning to retire, here, though others might find something of use, now and then.

    On May 5, I wrote about how the events of the last decade had done significant damage to the U.S., and that the country was now, at a time of economic weakness, facing another crisis of unknown proportions, but having significant negative implications for the economy.

    Here is what the New York Times had to say about it, today-

    For those who might like to read a short summation of where I see the U.S., at this point in its history, they can click on this link- http://www.cancuncare.com/forum/liv...04-nervously-eyeing-markets-2.html#post320381 which will take them to a single post.

    Zing! Right over the top of his head!

    Some people don't understand tactful suggestions.

    V:

    Go write a blog and stop taking to yourself on a thread here that nobody has responded to in over a week! Much like Glen Beck's daily classes.

    Then you respond to the post with another class on something or other. Go write a blog!

    Do you understand? Blink once for "yes" and twice for "watchu talkin bout, Willis????"

    I understood it exactly as a suggestion, and still do.

    Thanks Jim.

    Now, I'll offer you one. Go back to writing whatever it is you like to write about, and leave other posters in peace.

    Glad to hear you are not as dense as you appeared.

    And for right now, I like to write about how ridiculous you have become here, how boring and that you are even running people off who were great contributors. Me you won't run off. I will be here. And I leave other posters in peace--just not you.

    This forum is becoming ridiculous.

    IF people really need to have a go at each other, please do so over PM so the rest of us dont have to witness the epic "sandbox battle".

    Is it too much to ask as a "neutral"?

    AMEN TO THAT!!! And I have said it OVER and OVER again. Send a friggin PM if you are gonna be rude? V And TJ are friends....some things are allowed to be said between friends, and feeling aren't hurt.
    All the 'Haters" opened this thread for a reason, and if it was to bash V for doing what makes him happy, that is REALLY sad.
    And if you opened this thread to read what else has been added to the topic at hand, then you should be thankful for V's insight and passion.
    The hate has got to stop. Ignore it if you are so bothered by it.

    Rawkus and Tori B said it.

    This has to stop, I am sick and tired of having to jump in as referee - not only do I have to spend time answering on the forum I have to deal with PM's and emails too on these childish falling out issues. A few days ago I spent 6 hours on this kind of stuff and my patience is wearing very thin.

    V - please get the message that many people find the threads where you make up 90% of all posts not very entertaining. A blog really would be a good idea to post your random thoughts, this is a forum not a blog . Check out wordpress.com - it's easier than you may think.

    Jim - I dont take kindly to
    If you want to hassle someone do it off the board via email, face to face, telephone, snail mail or whatever just not here. When you bring it here you get me involved and I do not want to be involved in others personal disagreements.

    For anyone that doesn't wish to see any particular persons posts there is an ignore function:
    http://www.cancuncare.com/forum/profile.php?do=ignorelist
    Please use it if you so Desire.

    Like I said, this bickering has to stop. If it takes up any more of my time then I will close this section down simple as that. I have better things to do.
