Groote2010 and Bco,

Forgive me for my hurried post today. I've just returned from a fantastic weekend away. Me and a few of my old school friends went camping for three days - and what a thrilling adventure it was. I must say the highlight of our trip was when we deliberately set fire to the national park. I love the smell of old-growth Karri being incinerated in the morning. For an extra thrill, we stationed ourselves up-wind from the inferno where we would pick off the fleeing wildlife with our assault rifles as they tried to escape. Bonus points if it was an endangered species.

Anyway, back to my post. You two are talking to the wrong people here. Hotcopper is a place where us wealthy folk come to discuss making cold hard money, generally because we have lots of it. We'll frolic in riches and roll around in our cash-ponds, all while occasionally popping onto this forum to chat with other like-minded people. Like everyone, we pick and choose who we socialise and align ourselves with. You represent the type of person we wish NOT to associate with. We band together in this forum because we all share something in common - an interest in money. You do no share that same interest, therefore you are not welcome. The moderators of this forum have given you both several hints now, with several suspensions for relatively trivial reasons. That's a message to you: you're not welcome here. This is the wrong place for you to be spending your time.

To be quite honest, it is quite a humbling experience talking to you both - I rarely get the chance to get in touch with my common side. Except, of course, when I occasionally make eye contact with some homeless bludger living by the train station as I walk past on my weekly shopping trip to Tiffany's. Ping-Pong does have expensive taste, and she's got her eye set on her engagement ring from that place. I've told her that she would be getting one soon, but for the time being I shut her up with some new clothes. Her favourite was a beautifully tailored mink fur-coat - made to measure. I requested that the animal was very young, and skinned alive - it makes for the softest fur.
