So where does the internet cable hook into again?
Well it's almost Friday and as the family packs the last couple of hundred items into one of those little suitcases with a flat spotted wheel that goes bump, bump, bump all thru the airport, I wanted to let you know the outcome of the poll. We are going on vacation.....vacation from the markets, vacation from the contractor, the subs contractors, suppliers, neighbors, boyfriends of the girls and the list seems endless at time, but WE ARE OUT OF HERE....hehe
The poll......after receiving hundreds and hundreds of emails....we spent most of the day going thru them..and here are the results:
1. BSski stuff = 9
2. Trading stuff = 194
3. House stuff = 132
4. Baseball scores = 17
5. Hockey scores (they still play hockey and WHY?) = 2
6. Updates about Elizabeth and her baby = 53
7. Updates on Kate and Maggie mud wrestling event scheduled in Sept. = 394
8. How can I make real money trading and forget the crapola = 1,134
So I guess it's going to be about trading......a little house stuff.....and some busting on anyone that feels the urge to be silly and that doesn't take much with ya'll.......I hear that people are having problems logging into relay7 if they are logged into relay5.....go figure....anyone else having these problems....email me if you are dbolze@yahoo.com
Thanks and will be back on the hammer in 10 days after a nice guiet vacation.....and with 3 kids in tow...that won't be easy either......ROTFL

IT's one thing to have a bad hair day....BUT....
So the day started out with this post....from BobCathy!!!
Bobcathy1 said...
I love Woodie and the WCCI group. There I said it.
But here I am talking to the "enemy camp".
I took a look several times at Traders Haven and it didn't impress me. I don't like to see fights in print. Someone has to bounce the bozos otherwise it ruins the room. Free speech is overrated IMHO.
You saw what happened in your Blog. The trolls take over if you let them. Gotta delete it and boot. No other way.
Then this post....from Anon007
Anon007 said...
I don't think Kate or Maggie are "bozos", bobcathy. But they may have an opinion on what you are.
You love woodie, you then love censorship, secretive behavior, intolerance for any ideas but your own, no accountability, and sheeple.
Sounds like you would be happier in some good old fashioned dictatorship. May I suggest Iran or Cuba?
July 26, 2005 9:04 AM
Bobcathy1 then posted a couple of times...at 11:17 and again at 11:28 after he/she thought about their last post.
Bobcathy1 said>>>
anon007,
Would you please stick your head back up you butt? You look better that way.
You are one of the trolls I am talking about. Must be too stupid to recognize yourself.
THEN...
Bobcathy1 said...
I try to make a simple "on topic" comment and what happens....some idiot comes in and "craps" in Dennis' blog as usual.
I would like to see more house photos, but apparently another "crapper" ruined that for all of us.
Then came back in and deleted everything..go figure.....
First the only problem I have is, that there has never been a public accounting for a couple hundred grand that was taken in. Since it was promised that any funds left over would be given to charity because this was all about just helping people. I don't understand why that makes me in the "enemy camp".
Second, the person that sent me emails with threats against myself and my family has been dealt with to the Nth degree. Any person that believes they can make these threats against my wife and kids will enjoy all the crapola I can bring to bear against them....
Third I have to believe someone needs a time out. I remember when BC first told me to chill out and relax and go outside and talk to real people.....is this the same person that yelled at poor Anon007....then deleted it after her sugar level got back to normal?
Auto 10 Kate has always been on the edge and not sure but when you put someone on ignore...how can they kept PMing you.....is this the latest hotcomm.com feature?
Did hotcomm send the PM to Rover....or did Kate actually sent it?
Is Kate really a cry baby or just ticked off because she seems to move around a lot of chat room looking for the holy grail?
Did Rod Stuart really date Maggie when she worked on the farm?
What is political correctness about anyways, just an excuse for people to cry foul if they don't like what you say.....and keep you on guard against free thought?
I can't wait until the middle of August when I can get back to trading full time again.
So let's take a poll........send an email to me (top of page) if you want
1. BSski stuff
2. Trading stuff
3. House stuff
4. Baseball scores

How was the CCI NJTAL........
Why do I have a problem with the Duke of Wood?
Why am I always busting on them?
We call it smoke and mirrors...say one thing, do another. IF....and I mean "IF" you were just doing this to help others....then the basic questions is simple. WHY, hasn't there been a public accounting of the TAL's. Where are the donations for the kids.....from the left over funds.....
DrBob had a TAL this past weekend in near his home in NJ, he said, in advance, that everyone would have to pay their own way. no freebies. The extra funds would be given back to the attendees. And after the workshop, he posted the expenses, and how much was returned to each attendees.
We call that.....KEEPING YOUR WORD.
But some of you go out of your way to bust, slander and stir up trouble against DrBob and others who have seen the light and decided to leave the dark deep shadows of the forest and enjoy free speech and thoughts.......and to those people who want to continue the crapola.....POUND SAND!!!!!!
Here is the link for DrBob...

Not enough time for system trading.
Well done.
More set up time.
Have the speaker bring sample trades to discuss in case the market is dead.
We are at the mercy of internet and order flow.
Have presenters show how times affect trading during the day.
Need better organization so time doesn't run out.
Hands on experience.
Suggest to add webinar for all forum members.
Very useful.

Hard day, so not as effective as could be. Nobody's fault.
13) Describe the positive experiences you will take home from this workshop.

Following are other remarks:
Great workshop!
Good system trading ideas and concepts. Learned more about reading internals. Liked the simplicity of Yuri's system.
I will be better able to use FT to take and manage trades.
A lot of good ideas, but I will need the video to understand better.
People are all very helpful - it is about traders helping traders. Software is vastly improved. Made new friends.
Meeting other traders.
Networking - learned new ideas. Learned new abilities of FT.
Lots of useful information.
In general, got good experience. Improved trading techniques. Need follow-up webinars for continuing education.

Still have questions and problems running your software, and unfortunately, the only one that could help, Carlos, was busy. (p.s. this guy was helped by Carlos eventually and was happy in the end)
My experience was good thanks to Linda and Carlos!
Excellent job - and good luck Linda/Carlos.
I like the people.
Excellent experience - my first seminar with FT. More emphasis on helping beginners get started.
Enjoyed interacting with other traders.

Dang.....another one gone......

BURBANK, Calif. - Frank Gorshin, the impressionist with 100 faces best known for his Emmy-nominated role as the Riddler on the “Batman” TV series, has died. He was 72.
Gorshin’s wife of 48 years, Christina, was at his side when he died Tuesday at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, his agent and longtime friend, Fred Wostbrock, said Wednesday.
“He put up a valiant fight with lung cancer, emphysema and pneumonia,” Mrs. Gorshin said in a statement.

BURBANK, Calif. - Frank Gorshin, the impressionist with 100 faces best known for his Emmy-nominated role as the Riddler on the “Batman” TV series, has died. He was 72.
Gorshin’s wife of 48 years, Christina, was at his side when he died Tuesday at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, his agent and longtime friend, Fred Wostbrock, said Wednesday.
“He put up a valiant fight with lung cancer, emphysema and pneumonia,” Mrs. Gorshin said in a statement.
Despite dozens of TV and movie credits, Gorshin will be forever remembered for his role as the Riddler, Adam West’s villainous foil in the question mark-pocked green suit and bowler hat on “Batman” from 1966 to 1969.
The Riddler’s high-pitched laugh was based on his own, Gorshin told AP Radio in 1997. “I fooled around with all kinds of different laughs and then I found out that when I do laugh I get this high-pitched laugh and I thought, ‘This is what I’m going to use.”’
“It really was a catalyst for me,” Gorshin recalled in a 2002 Associated Press interview. “I was nobody. I had done some guest shots here and there. But after I did that, I became a headliner in Vegas, so I can’t put it down.”
West said the death of his longtime friend was a big loss.
“Frank will be missed,” West said in a statement. “He was a friend and fascinating character.”
Beam me up Scotty.........gone forever.....
The little group of traders I belong to, we have a saying when the market is trending but stalls for a few minutes or so.....SCOTTY, GIVE ME MORE POWER...HURRY MON WE CAN"T HOLD ON, SHE IS BREAKING UP.........but today, there was no answer back from Scotty.....gone forever, but still dear in our hearts.

LOS ANGELES - James Doohan, the burly chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise in the original “Star Trek” TV series and motion pictures who responded to the command “Beam me up, Scotty,” died early Wednesday. He was 85.
Doohan died at 5:30 a.m. at his Redmond, Wash., home with his wife of 28 years, Wende, at his side, Los Angeles agent and longtime friend Steve Stevens said. The cause of death was pneumonia and Alzheimer’s disease, he said.
The Canadian-born Doohan was enjoying a busy career as a character actor when he auditioned for a role as an engineer in a new space adventure on NBC in 1966. A master of dialects from his early years in radio, he tried seven different accents.
James Montgomery Doohan was born March 3, 1920, in Vancouver, B.C., youngest of four children of William Doohan, a pharmacist, veterinarian and dentist, and his wife Sarah. As he wrote in his autobiography, “Beam Me Up, Scotty,” his father was a drunk who made life miserable for his wife and children.
Storming the beaches on D-Day
At 19, James escaped the turmoil at home by joining the Canadian army, becoming a lieutenant in artillery. He was among the Canadian forces that landed on Juno Beach on D-Day. “The sea was rough,” he recalled. “We were more afraid of drowning than the Germans.”
The Canadians crossed a minefield laid for tanks; the soldiers weren’t heavy enough to detonate the bombs. At 11:30 that night, he was machine-gunned, taking six hits: one that took off his middle right finger (he managed to hide the missing finger on the screen), four in his leg and one in the chest. Fortunately the chest bullet was stopped by his silver cigarette case.
After the war Doohan on a whim enrolled in a drama class in Toronto. He showed promise and won a two-year scholarship to New York’s famed Neighborhood Playhouse, where fellow students included Leslie Nielsen, Tony Randall and Richard Boone.
His commanding presence and booming voice brought him work as a character actor in films and television, both in Canada and the U.S. Oddly, his only other TV series besides “Star Trek” was another space adventure, “Space Command,” in 1953.
Doohan’s first marriage to Judy Doohan produced four children. He had two children by his second marriage to Anita Yagel. Both marriages ended in divorce. In 1974 he married Wende Braunberger, and their children were Eric, Thomas and Sarah, who was born in 2000, when Doohan was 80.
In a 1998 interview, Doohan was asked if he ever got tired of hearing the line “Beam me up, Scotty.”
“I’m not tired of it at all,” he replied. “Good gracious, it’s been said to me for just about 31 years. It’s been said to me at 70 miles an hour across four lanes on the freeway. I hear it from just about everybody. It’s been fun.”
PEACE........

Wonder what this means?????
Someone pointed this out over the weekend and was wondering what is going on now.
There is no mention of Woodie not actually going to Denver on his website. But when you go to pay for the next TAL, this is what you find first. Can I come, since he called me a prick after telling DrBob he still loves him....whatever that means.
No need to go down that street is there?
Is this a way to setup the trade-a-long so no one has to actually trade...you know, well I am not feeling well right now, I going to sit down and rest for a few minutes.
Or just flat out not come and send a message about how they wish they could be there but can't make it again this year.
What does it mean, an "effective speaker", effective to do what?????
There seems to be a lot of legal, what if's, like waiving all claims against everybody even anyone else associated in any way.....including the Janitor, both bus boys and the taxi driver, I guess?
So will he go to Denver....
Will he trade live....
Will an "effective speaker" step forward.....
Will he just walk around the room again and pretend.....
Will Elizabeth have a baby for Jax & Courtney or will she keep it and live happy ever after with her new husband Lucky?
Guess time will tell.......

YOU ARE OUT OF HERE
Over the weekend, almost 238 posts were received on this blog. Of course, most were just fools playing games and some were just being idiots by posting under 8 or so different names. So I will continue to speak, and you will continue to come here every couple of hours to see what is going on, right up until your spouse says, "Harold, go get a job". And I am just fine with that.
Good luck trading, remember I am on the other side waiting to nail you butt to the floor.... you do know what BOB really means don't you. "Bend'em Over Backwards" and that is exactly what we plan to do. Baaaaah....Baaaahh you all.
Which one are you......pick one of the four
You are either a shepherd......and lead the flock.
Or your are the dog...and make sure the sheep listen to the shepherd.
Or you are a sheep.....and just wait to be lead to the slaughter house.
OR, in the world of the bloggin, you are hiding in the stack of hay.
But judging by the way the shepherd looks, well you be the judge on this one....
1. made a fortune trading an 80% system.
2. made enough money to DisneyWorld on vaction.
3. made enough money to buy a new truck.
4. made enough money to go to Walmart for new clothes.
5. none of the above.....
Is the Bernice under there somewhere....?

The crowd stands as a new room posting record awards are given out.
A crowd of chicken eatin traders cheered this morning as awards were given out today for the most post in the blog. Of course a few of the guys had to be thrown out because of a language problem....and that was easy.....not to be confused with Easy Language which is not easy.
Sport was quoted as saying, "I just want to thank all the little people for this great award, Bernice, Josh, Lenny, The Janitor, Sid, Your Mommy, Olm, alphaomega and of course Anonysheep where ever you are."

Are you OK???........drop the mouse and step away from the computer....NOW
Dr Lampouski said...
dennis, to be very honest after reading your posts it seems clear to me you are not mentally together. im starting to understand how you use this blog to justify other problems you are having and make them coincide with the ones you make up here. and you never answer questions nor do you complete your thoughts. its sort of a 'ramble' if you will. question is... are you ok?
July 05, 2005 1:14 AM
I thought this was an interesting comment and it got me to thinking...am I OK?
Well, I thought about the puppets in hotcomm that can be used to make the chat room appear bigger then it actually is and I am OK with that, just thought it should be pointed out.
I thought about my oldest daughter finishing college and coming to work with us and I am OK with that....for sure
Then I thought about the text-b-gone idea so the chat room logs look nice and clean and thought that was a cool idea if not a little funny, but I am OK about that also.
Then I thought about the whole Dax-b-gone thing and besides the idea that "someone" should have checked it out before saying it was golden in published articles I had a few chucks about that one, and I am was OK with it.
Of course, then changing the name of his work to someone else, well that was also little funny in a way and we had a good laugh on that one, so I was OK with that too.
Then my son tried to jump his dirt bike across a road out on Webb Mountain and ended up in the tree, of course, he was not wearing his $1200.00 worth of protective gear and now is walking sideways, THAT I was not OK with. But he is not using that as an excuse to not work up on the hill and I am OK with that.
The whole thing with DrBob and his group being kicked out and then starting TH, well I couldn't believe it but it worked out just fine with a free and open chat room and after a few days, I was OK with that.
Then my youngest daughter received her grade for an accounting class she took this summer at college and since she made at least a "B", I had cut a deal that she could go to a concert with two other girls 6 hours away this weekend and I WAS NOT OK WITH that. So there is an off-duty officer going with them for the two days and I am now OK with that.
It rained very hard today, just after noon so the contractor and his crew left for the day at 1:15 and I was not OK with that..until I spend an hour up there and got soaked to the bone....SO I was then OK with them leaving.
This weekend we had a house full of relatives and we went to Patriot Park for fireworks but the corn on the cob stand was not there this year and I was certainly not happy about that, BUT there was a stand that sold apples covered with carmel and I was OK about that.....4 times.
We were able to hire another crew of framers to do the vaulted timber frame ceiling and roof system, they will be on site on Monday and I am OK with that.
So after I took stock of all the things I could think of....I think I am OK, of course people laugh at me because I am different......but I am laughing at you because you are all the same........baaaaah, baaaaaaaah and I am OK with that too.
Nice job in TradersHaven .....TW_WI
As things move forward we are starting to see moderators from other rooms coming into TradersHaven and checking it out. I have to believe that they like what they are also seeing and have started to share their insights in the chat room.
Of course, they can express their views without being busted on, kicked or even banned. Yesterday TW_WI shared his ideas using an open mic and worked his way thru the market and did a great job.
It has to be a relief, in some ways, for someone to be able to actually talk about how you view the market using your tools and skills instead of having in the back of their minds, the idea that they could say something and get kicked out and banned.....
What a great joy it was TW_WI to hear a voice of free speech again....keep it up dude.

this is from a post on e-mini_traders.....and it's something to think about....instead of being a sheep, you might want to try and be the Shepard.

Some may get a kick out of this, and it seems to address this point!
A trading friend came over here to trade, not learn, just the fun of doing it with someone, like fishing, it's more fun enjoyed with a pal, than alone! He, not me, hates people "cult leaders", not just in trading, but preachers who need followers in any area. He considers all of them Charles Manson's, so he ate a "big Guru" up by sweeping all the trades he called out (I say called out, because he trades very little, but his follower's don't know that) and all the lemmings took...5 straight and then got bored, and went back to the ES with me, but, after listening to the "Guru" explain every reason (but the right one) why and how the call lost.
It would be a "hoot", if innocent people and their families weren't getting crushed, the "Guru" should have been a television Evangelists!
I had a friend call me to come up and trade together, a guy that was on the floor with me. He didn't want to learn anything, he is as well versed as I hope I am and trades way more contracts than I do, it is just fun to sit and trade next to someone in person then in a web room, as we both have Hotcomm and could do it there if we wanted to. Sitting next to each other, you can talk, joke, reminisce, walk around the yard, joke around, discuss theories, go to lunch, have a few drinks, etc., I think you get the picture, i.e., would you rather visit with you sister over the web, or get together in person? In fact, he is sleeping right now, as we look at the Forex starting at 2:30 a.m. Est. for a set up, because between 2:30 and 3:30 is the time you can get a good move, the Brits. come in at 2:00 and join the Japanese, giving the Forex some "push", then it is usually soft until the U.S. comes in around nineish, so we will try to put a trade on and then go to bed, or in his case, back to bed. When we wake up, we are either up X, Even, or have a profit (maybe still in the trade if the target or loss hasn't been hit yet, but usually your flat and ready to start the day. So while he is sleeping, I am catching up as I didn't do much web stuff after he got here. Well on with story why not to trade thinly traded markets. I always have a bunch of rooms up and running and he hates room leaders, so he asked who I had up, I told him, and one guy with a large following was the room moderator for awhile today calling out the possible entries and had just gotten back from a trip so everyone was excited to have him back. My friend, well versed on "legally stealing stops" like we all are from the "floor" days, wanted to mess with his home coming, he doesn't even trade the products this "leaders" room does, because of what he was about to do. He decided to have more fun messing with this group leader, than trade his usual product, the ES or Forex. So we poured our morning diet cola, cigarettes, and Visine and got ready for what He, not me, considered fun! He knew the method and indicators the room used, plus the "GURU" calls out the developing setups and also others post what they see. So he could easily anticipate the trades, so when the leader was calling out the symptoms of the setup, and says get in at the close of this bar, he would check the current volume, not to confirm the trade, but to calculate how many contracts he would have to come in with to make the trade do the opposite what the calls, at least enough to "steal" the stops, which in this rooms case, aren't very large, because the "leader" teaches and says not to. Like, in the Russell, they use 6 point stops, in the YM, 10 to 15, and if certain things, they "scratch" the trade before they lose the total stop, and if it is a failure in their eyes, go the other way if certain things happens, so he can get them coming and going! We knew how many were in the room, and there is another break away room that trades much the same way, so we had their room up also, telling him about how many contracts were going to come in. Assume we feel the members average a 3 lot, as they have been mistakenly been told to scale out at certain points on the first and second contract and let the third one run with their stops brought to B/E, letting him know where the stops are if they dodge the first try to sweep them, he knows about what the volume will be, i.e. X % of the room members, as they don't all really trade, offset by the decrease in the number of existing contracts already in the volume that will be getting out, and others not in these rooms that will be getting in. With low volume, you don't have to be very accurate. He loads in his Dome, the number of contracts he anticipates will do the damage, the opposite way he knows
the "Guru" is going to call, and he knows they are going in at the close of the bar, so he knows they are all in the trade. He doesn't want to get in too early and push the move the opposite way too early or the Guru will call it off, and it will make the leader look like he is making the right calls, and the whole point of doing is to make the leader look wrong, not take the little lemmings money, although unfortunately, that happens too, but he figures, this guy is only calling trades in the a.m., so they can get their money back in the p.m., and the reality is they wouldn't won anyway, and would not have gotten it back in the p.m. either. So when there is X seconds left for the bar to form, he loads his first batch in to stall the move a little, and when the bar closes, he puts in the rest. If the price starts moving the way the way it was hoped to, he knows his calculations on who many contracts he needed to use, so after a few points, he dumps more in and takes them all out. Then he knows that if a call failed on certain set ups, the group is looking to do something else, so he loads the Dome with a, now more informed guess at the number of contracts he needs to use, and nails them again. Well, he made the leaders first four calls be wrong. They all felt like ducks in a shooting gallery, go one way, wrong, go the other, wrong. Fortunately, after he did it a few times, and listened to all the reasons it was happening, all of which were wrong, he was satisfied and went to the products he normally trades where he could make the kind of money he really wants, and the fun has worn off. What's too bad, all these traders could avoid this if they only did a couple thing differently.

I've seen happen too many times for it to be a coincidence. When
they gun the stops, they gun just about all of them. It's easy
because most of the stops are obvious, e.g., below support or below
yesterday's low.

So who is trying to front run WHO????
I remember getting a lot of crap about my post with reference to a special setting for the CCI that would allow you to front run the regular setting. But, it seems to me, that they are trying to front run the very people they kicked out.....and of course, getting PM's and emails about it......and we all believe that....YEA OK.
I guess the proof is in the puddin...so to speak.
TH now has a live moderator.....GO TW_WI GO.......

All eyes are on YOU....
As you know we had a private password protected chat room on relay3 called Columbo and also had another one called Hammermill. From April of 2003 until August 24, 2004 certain people were able, not only, to view our transcripts without our knowledge or consent but also other chat rooms in hotcomm. The information that was found in our logs along with other logs enabled those parties to have meeting to discuss any problems and plan for their future and the future of their chat room.
I was in the process of backing away from any chat rooms and doing any additional workshops or presentation when some of you sent me a snap shot of "that" chart from their chat room. So, I decided to press the issue since they were in the process of actively trying to figure it out for themselves. I had already told FibonacciTrader in Feb. that I would be backing out and they needed to find someone else to do their workshops in the future. I even stopped posting things in CB's room and showing ideas for her clients when this all happened.
By pressing the issues in this blog over time, several people who are or were former members of the group have decided to provide and give up information that has helped us figure out what was done, by who and how often. I have to believe for two reasons, first..they now see that the orginial ideas have changed entirely and second out of fear that some one will come knocking on their door any day.
Also since I started TradersParadise, as we all know by now Woodie kicked DrBob out because he opened a private chat room with "his" friends to trade on the side and all hell broke loose within 48 hours. But TradersHaven is just what is needed, a room for the exchange of ideas in an open and free forum without fear of being kicked out or banned, no text-b-gone, no puppets, and so on.
TradersParadise was never meant to be a chat room where you could just sit there and take the same trades as myself and get rich, I know that is what some of you would like, but that is not what I had in mind. It was to be a place to exchange ideas, chat about trading, post charts and tell a few jokes......but it was never just meant to be me calling out trades for you. In order to actually make money, you will need to develop your own style and trading plan....not just follow someone.
The bottom line is simple, I have advised Hotcomm that we will not be renewing any of the chat rooms on Hotcomm this week as the licenses come up for renewal. As far as posting information about trading and how to actually make money at this game. Well, I think this blog has shown, at least to me, that almost everyone is more interested in BSski then trading.
I wish you all the best of luck in the future and as always, when I am trading I will be in CB's room and maybe TH just watching and enjoying the text flying by.
This blog was also setup not to just bust on anyone, but to get a couple of people thinking, and to that end it has. The rest of you might have enjoyed reading it and enjoyed using your four letter word in replying back, but hey, that's life. I am just grateful that a few choice to come forward showed us just how loyal you were in the end after a year....
The funniest thing is I guess, as we now know BobCathy went back to work and she was the top of the moderators game there for a while. But when the truth came out, I felt bad for her because of all the blind faith she put into it. In reading some of the text from a December 12th, 2004 log (you remember on relay3 girls) that was sent to me by an attendee of that meeting, it seems that Kate, Bonnie and Jennann also had some problems and those "auto 10" after the facts trades and it turns out they were just hype. Got to love it at times, just got to love it.

Into the night they came......From a open window to do their deeds
So people have asked in the hundreds of emails I receive each week and also in the comment section of the blog, "WHY" am I doing this and "WHY" did I wait so long before I started. Some believe it was because the cheese blew out his candle and drifted off into the sun set, well that had nothing to do with it at all.
As I posted in the beginning, a couple of my trading buddies emailed me a snapshot of a charting software that was "accidentally" posted in a hotcomm.com chat room. They never immediately this would be of very high interest to me and of course, it was.
So in order that this work not be copied and pretended that it was their original work like had been done in the past....I started the chat room and also this blog.
Why the timing, that is for another post but during the past 4 months, we have been tracking all kinds of activity, as you know we caught Jimsy coming into TradersParadise pretending to be someone else in order to stir up trouble. Not once, but several times, and a blog was done showing the log in and outs to prove to you all this stuff is not just crap.
We have also been following some other people, "the insiders" if you like, the people you don't actually hear from much. True and loyal to end supporters, no matter what is going on.....and I have to believe they will stand in the Koolaid line before it's all over....but that is their problem.
Over the past two weeks, we have found the person that originally hacked into our private password protected chatroom to spy on us and also copy any text, charts and open code.
Now this may not sound like earth shaking news to you, but were you in a chatroom in hotcomm.com other then the Duke? Did you say anything that could have been viewed unfavorable in the eyes of the brown shirts? Were you banned and never could figure out why because in the Duke's room you were a loyal subject? Did you join another chatroom or start another chatroom and found yourself kicked and banned? Ever wonder why someone that talked one day about this and that was sudden gone and you could never figure out what happen?
I can think of a few.......
Then you could be a victim of this practice of logging into a site where the entire room logs were stored and being able to read those logs without the room owner or anyone else that was in the room knowing that someone else was reading what you said in private. They could even log in...read what last post.....log back out.....and log back in ....and read the latest updated log, Almost in real time.
Then a private meeting would take place and they would decide what to do with "YOU" because you could be a problem. They could even decide how to move forward and what to do next based on what they saw in the other private protected chat rooms.
I do have just one question. Why, was everything out in the open (so to speak) until the sidewinder came along and that is proprietary......??????
Also, I know you read this blog a couple times a day, Lord only knows why, but you are a programmer, a long time personal close friend of someone in Canada,and you have been asking PM questions in TH..........I'm just glad you live in the USA....,
You might want to study up on US Title 2511 over the weekend, but I will post a copy of it on Tuesday if you want to wait that long.
