[sdiy] BAD TRADER: JOSH HOLLEY

[Peter Grenader]

Tom and fellow colleagues,

I appreciate your comments about this not being the forum for this type of
post, we get enough of that in other lists.  But...Joe's letter is far from
a rant.  It's actually about the less emotional (read: best) posting like
this I've seen in a long, long time.

You should try Analog Heaven for about a 1/2 day - most the Bad Trader posts
read something like:

 "This dude...OK, like this dude said he was like going to do this and it's
been like two @%$! hours and he hasn't done it and he's a total @$#!! and if
I ever see him I'm going to ..."

...that sort of thing. goes on all the damn time in that list.

- P
