Yes, Tony, but this is not a "least-common denominator" listserv......It's a
Metastock (you know, the *charting* program) listserv.......(laughing)
C'mon ! You can get FREE email accounts from juno.com (from USRobotics
modems) , you get 5 free e-mail accounts with an AOL subscription, you get a
free e-mail account with AT&T long distance, you get free e-mail accounts
with most local BBS'es, and that's just off the top of my head........try
www.hotbot.com and do a web search for "free e-mail" ! (Then use a separate
account for the Metastock list)
I live overseas too, and my biggest problem is keeping track of all my free
e-mail accounts !
I (personally) really value the efforts of guys like Richard Estes and Jim
G. and Harley, who are not only knowledgable, but willing to share their
efforts for free.
I'd like to see Dr. Clive participate more this way.......These guys are
pros, and I'm here to learn as much as I can.
The Metastock listserv that doesn't encourage the exchange of charting, is
like a poetry listserv that only allows pictures !
Can't we please put this ridiculous censorship notion to rest ? I'm BEGGING
you !
Thanks,
Dick
