turbiditic, I understand your stance. I notice, though, that the prevalence of, shall we say "non-constructive" posts increases at times when the market is "uncooperative". When doom and gloom surrounds, one tends to try to lighten up with lighthearted banter instead of reaching for a rusty razor. I noted too when the counters still used to work, mindless dribble used to attract more reads than constructive posts members put a lot of effort into. Dont let it get you down.
