Rus: I think there are other considerations here as well. Given the relative newness of blogging and the widespread reach of the ‘net, you can create invasion of privacy issues without the intent of doing so.

If the information that OCR relayed was in the public domain, the person in question really didn’t have an expectation of privacy, legally speaking. But the larger issue now is that, prior to this, no one really contemplated how far and wide that information would be spread and what sort of damage it might potentially do.

OCR mentions that his post on Trojan4Life was written in anger and deleted some five minutes later. But in those five minutes it was picked up by others and went God knows where. So after feeling bad about penning it, he took it down, but it was arguably too late as evidenced by it’s reappearance here and now. On top of that, it also appears that we haven’t gotten the whole story, as Trojan asserts the complete post was not shown and thus we don’t have the complete or proper context.

So you have something of a mess, but without the apparent intention of creating one. We lose an excellent resource in BMIT’s closure, OCR’s privacy (and potential family safety) is compromised and the threat of litigation now hovers over him and through no fault of his own.

Aecetia: So the Earth has reversed it’s polarity? Is that why my toilet is flushing in the other direction now?

Just curious.

SDR: It’s interesting that you mention Rivera’s strategy during that Steeler’s drive. Look back at the Colts – Bears Super Bowl (Rivera was the Bear’s defensive coordinator) and see if spot any similarities. He failed to pressure Manning during that game and Peyton chewed that defense up.

The coaches that prevail are the ones that not only meticulously game plan, but also take risks as well.

It’s like the old joke about the “Prevent” Defense: It only prevents you from winning! Football is not a game for the cautious or faint of heart.

Conrad Dobler. Man, that is a blast from the past. What a nasty SOB he was.

I think we just hijacked this thread.

DaCounselor: I agree that trading and gambling are a helluva lot more fun than investing. Investing takes work!

When I handled that corporate portfolio, approx. 10% was for speculative investments, including CBOT-type stuff (futures, derivatives, etc). The point you make about having a hot streak (and/or a cold one) is very true. I went on a run trading futures (with Florida orange futures, of all things) that was amazing. I was up somewhere around 300% and started thinking I was some kind of financial genius when, as you say, the House asserted itself and promptly kicked my ass earthward again. Great lesson and one I refer to constantly when making financial decisions.

It’s amusing to listen to some self-described “expert” go on and on about gaming the system. The system will eventually eat your lunch, especially if you’re nothing more than a glorified dilettante day trader. And you’re absolutely right about that “entertainment expense”. It can often cost more than your entire portfolio.
