John: Love the graphics. Regarding the message board splits, I agree, we're
not big enough to fragment it too much. However, as in previous postings, I
would like to see some concentrated discussion on investment philosophies,
my particular interest being in selecting quality stocks to buy and hold vs
speculation.

Mark commented that there are only 40 postings a day but how many non
contributors are there out there? Maybe I'm a very small minority.

One last comment to fire out there, what would peoples reactions be to us,
as a community, creating a couple of "virtual" portfolios, an online
shareclub type deal. Buys and sells are discussed openly and decisions based
on popular consensus. This concept might cause some real fireworks amongst
the traders and speculators but it could be a valuable exercise for the
longer term investor. The idea might get shot down in flames because it
could be a logistical nightmare for Ben to set up but am interested to here
your response.

Cheers for now, Brian
