A HERETIC I AM

4. My "desired focus" is accuracy and relevance, that's it.

I get your point and I understand what you were trying to do, the discussion was lively and as such, I didn’t entertain the idea of locking your thread in the least.

Here’s what I don’t want;

I don’t want this group to be a place where inaccurate and downright misinformation is promulgated. The reason is simple, as I mentioned. We are talking about people’s life savings at times, and real harm can be done if bad information is acted upon.

That is why you didn’t get a PM from me on your thread. It wasn’t misleading or inaccurate. Was it outside of the SOP (a Statement of Purpose that I DID NOT WRITE, by the way)? Sure. A bit. But it was a warning on a particular sleeve of trading that bears attention and explanation and that’s perfectly fine, as far as I am concerned.

I wrote this OP to simply try and give a slight course correction, that’s all. I do not intend to scold or put anyone off from participating. There are other places and threads on DU that do that sort of thing.
