Sorry, I'm with fishhead on this one. Yes there is a tone issue but rather than completely ignore autosime he did at least point him in the right direction. The original post from autosime followed up with a 'Don't worry Fishead - I bought MML instead. Thanks for your help' sadly doesn't suggest that autosime was here to do much sharing. A pet hate of longer term HC posters (particular those like me who research and generally buy and hold shares) are those who expect posters to tell them about a company without contributing anything back. In my experience, the best threads are those where the thread starter contributes information as well as asking questions - starting a conversation rather than a simple Q and A session. That all said, I'm not against questions like autosime's being asked but I imagine that, had he written his thoughts on PRU that he'd garnered from the activities reports and presentations he'd read and then asked his question , he would have been provided with the source in a less surly tone. So please autosime come back and give us your opinion on PRU - and why it didn't make the grade for you on this occasion. I think you will find that if you do that Fishy etc will be quite happy to engage and you may even find a friendlier tone!
