hee hee hee. Do real traders really get taken in by spammers who have managed to get their email address? That's hilarious. How can anyone even thinking of trading be so naive? Corblimey, I'm gobsmacked.

Some people do get taken in by these horrible people that pray on new traders

To pray is to worship. They prey, because they are predators.

Qui? Moi? Just a gentle bit of tomfoolery. Surely nobody could take offence at that?

You know the funniest part? If we'd had the internet when I was 15, I would probably have:

Made the same mistakes.

Blamed everybody else.

Assumed my point of view would be more noticeable or reinforced if I posted it in ludicrous colours, sizes and fonts or started each word in capital letters to make it harder to read, or got so wound up with myself I blathered away in almost unintelligible English.

Emulated some of those on these threads by mixing that little lot up just to be certain it was unreadable.

Thrown my teddy out of the pram when somebody else pointed out my downfall was at least in part my own doing and that my blathering and bleating was helping nobody.

It's being aware of all that which makes the winding up so much easier and so much more fun, don't you see?
