Hi xcel - thanks for your posts. I am a relative newbie to the stockmarket - and to forums of any - and still learning. I like the anonymity but I also like transparency - so there's a contradiction there I know. I only post on HC (at the moment) but do read SS and get great information from both .. and if others do post under a number of pseudonyms I'm not bothered as we have to remain critical even in the most bullish of markets.

IP addresses do change (eg I'll be in Perth next week) and I'm sure others are even more mobile.

I enjoy your posts - although I do not always agree - as they make me think and they draw attention to detail. Re the "false" bids though I just assumed that traders do that all the time to get market advantage.

Excuse the long post - just want to establish my own bona fide.
