Call yourself whatever you like.  I said your *post* deserved a gong 
of the week.  Not you.  You seemed to have taken on board what I said 
about the message and extrapolated that to include the messenger.

Yes to Q1.  

And no, I don't expect you to disclose 'anything and everything'.  I 
do expect you to disclose from what angle you come from when you ask 
your question, nothing more.  I do try to do this myself.  It is hard 
to answer a question for which you don't understand the perspective 
of the person that asked the question, and the same applies to the 
person that answers it.  I know you said you were looking at a 'long 
term' investment, but what does that term mean to you?  I ask because 
you seemed to be more concerned with trends than value.  By my 
reckoning your original question didn't quite add up.

I see you answered your own question.  The fact that you made no 
follow up meant that one reasonable conclusion was that you had 
turned into a jelly.  Remember, I can only judge your state of mind 
on what you post here.  I cannot read your mind.

So why didn't you tell us then?  I've been half thinking about 
getting into MHI myself.  I'm sure I and other sharechatters would 
value your opinion as to why you decided to jump in.  It is great 
to have Phaedrus's opinion of course, but it is much more 
interesting if we have other people's as well.  You have every right 
not to post your opinion, but why not post your opinion as 
a positive contribution here?

If you don't post that you have made a decision I can't be expected 
to know.  I am not a mind reader.  Given the lack of follow up to 
your first post, I think it was a *reasonable* guess that you hadn't 
made a decision, even though it turned out to be inaccurate.

What has 'pissed me off' is the lack of people making a positive 
contribution here in the last week.  I congratulated Nick and a 
couple of others for doing so.  The 'rant' was to try and get others 
to follow their example. 

I hereby withdraw all allegations that you turned into a jelly and 
sincerely apologise for any personal injury caused to you as a 
result.   However, it was never my intention to defame you.  I 
identified you as 'some person' (I didn't consider it worth looking 
up exactly who it was) indicating that I would have applied my 
criticisim to 'any person' who had displayed that (apparent) 
attitude.   I was criticising the message, not the messanger.

I am pleased that you do not shy away from criticising me, indeed I 
wish more people here would.  However, I would be grateful if any 
such criticisim was more constructive in the future.  Please, don't 
stop posting.
