Hello Kevin,
if I sounded rude or unfair I have to say sorry. This was not what
was in my mind. I do agree with your arguments. The point I really
wanted to point was: there are a few members here in the group that
should be greatly honored (at least that is my opinion). They are a
lot smarter than folks like me, and they don't mind sharing their
great knowledge with us. But what is the purpose of a discussion
group like this? Aren't we all here willing to learn and improve our
skills?
Is it really such a hard task to do some resarch using the manual or
google? There are questions that are not answered this way. These I
find are worth to be discussed further here.
I am running my own business here in Europe during the day what is
not trading-related. I find it pretty interesting that often from a
discussion with my partners or customers I get some valuable feedback
that helps me improve my skills even more.
Why not sharing an idea, thought or system (that one possibly not
could translate to a system) even if you have the feeling that it is
not perfect with the group and be surprised what grew from the
initial input?
I am not upset or bored, I think there just could be more ... ;-)
