I feel Chris's initial posting serves a reminder of the kind of responses that 
should be discouraged in this forum.

So that the list doesn't have to wade through my response and netiquette 
reminder, it's attatched as a TXT.
Feel free to delete this message.

Chris,

As much as I dislike being an informal moderator, it's worth bringing your 
attention to 
the fact that in communal list situations like this, bagging people for their 
posting 
style is not constructive, and is not welcome.

If you have a problem with the way you see information is being disseminated, 
there 
are a number of options...

1 - Find information that backs up your case and write a TOPICAL, constructive 
post 
outlining your point of on a particular share.

2 - Write an email privately to the poster in question detailing your concerns.

3 - Unsubscribe

No-one on this lists wants to read junk postings like this. And before you 
write "but i'm 
just expressing my point of view on a share"...
No, you were criticising someone elses point of view on a share, attacking the 
lists 
contributors directly and genearlly lowering the tone...

For more information, search under "netiquette" in any major search engine.

Sincerely,

Phil Williams

    It is apparent that Sharechat has attracted a lot of new subscribers in
    the last quarter. Many have boldly stated that they are new to
    trading/investing in equities and asked some basic and naive questions.
    Generally responses have been informative and helpful but in more recent
    weeks the stupidity and arrogance displayed in the guise of psuedo humour
    is completely amiss.  The real laugh is in realising that the psuedo
    humour writers are only marginally more evolved in their understanding of
    the markets than the questioner.
