Phylo,
I understand all the words in your post, but the way you've strung them together leaves me scratching my head. The impression I have is, somehow, you've managed to extrapolate from my question to c_v about what he's been smoking, that I'm a losing trader, a "dimeless idiot" a narcissist and "carrying the experiments of youth to a manly degradation" - whatever that means. Is this correct? If so, fascinating though all this is, I fail to see how it's remotely germane to the topic under discussion!
