How naive I was at this time LOL !Did you really say that? Yes I was young. My boss (75 years old, head of research) laughed at me when I said that. Today I'm more cynical and wiser I would say. And when you hear some people like the CEOs of the biggest US bank then I'm sure that nothing would change from their will. But regulation and political power come into play.

I have never regretted walking away and giving him the last word.Few emerge unscratched from the fray.Hayes is a better man than me.--scathed T4A EDIT: I will say that writing some of those 76% help me think through some things so those posts aren't a total loss.

QuoteOriginally posted by: Traden4Alpha76% of my replies to Fermion. Only 76%? As a numbers guy, are you sure it wasn't 77%?BTW you are advised not to reply to this post. (Although a submission is acceptable.)

I have never regretted walking away and giving him the last word.If getting the last word was your objective, it's no wonder you you ended up walking away. I've always preferred to focus on what the words mean myself.

When people go into fight mode they tend to stop thinking.QuoteEDIT: I will say that writing some of those 76% help me think through some things so those posts aren't a total loss.Glad to have been of assistance. Perhaps you gave up on those other 24% too soon.

To be honest, all attempts to deflect Fermion have been unsuccessful. May read Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Otherwise it's just Bronson V Mifune...

QuoteOriginally posted by: Cuchulainnall attempts to deflect Fermion have been unsuccessful.Maybe this will work for him:QuoteFive unemployed Moroccan men set themselves on fire in the capital Rabat as part of widespread demonstrations in the country over the lack of jobs, especially for university graduates, a rights activist said Thursday.

Only time will tell.***It makes me wonder if Regret(t) is polynomial in t and, if so, what order polynomial it is. Some things one regrets immediately and forever (0th order polynomial). Some things one might increasingly regret as the impact of the statement spreads (1st order). Some things one might think are great initially, then regret for a while, and then come to look fondly back at the event with nostalgia (2nd order).Or perhaps Regret(t) is an exponential???
