Please, dear Phaedrus, don't leave us for Sharetrader.  I've learned so much 
from your charts and explanations of them, and whether it's all been dumb luck 
in a rising market,  I seem to have been able to apply your ideas in analysing 
charts to make some good trades.

Thanks for all your help, and don't give up on us.

PS: I've also noticed Hugh Webber's seeming inability to resist snide comments 
about TA.
