Call me a party poop or a skeptic, but I doubt that sharing a lot of supposedly personal information is any kind of good example for how other peeps (whether newbie or more experienced) should hold themselves out on the interwebs, or in this forum

I agree with you there, and I've probably shared more personal information about myself in some of my posts than I should have. Then again, I'm not in fear of anyone on the forum, haven't scammed anyone here, and I don't have anything worth hacking or stealing (lol).

He's suchmoon's problem now - I have to concentrate on Jet Cash who wants to knock me out of the top ten. Grin

I still have a hard time comprehending how I made it into the top 10--and that's not a humblebrag or compliment-fishing. I'm genuinely baffled. But if it's any consolation about the merit situation, Vod, you're still #2 in the most recognized list (which you designed the criteria for, lol).

Meh - you know I don't care about bitcoin. I'm only on this forum to manipulate stats and boost my fragile ego. Grin

At least you've succeeded [I know you're joking]. Many members here really are only on bitcointalk to rise in the ranks for whatever reason (ego, power, & money are the usual culprits) and they end up failing miserably, either from ineptitude or being tripped up by greed or some other fatal flaw.

then again from all the threats in here you MUST say the WALL OBSERVER is a special on, yeah there is some nonsense/drunk posting/game playing ETC

I've been here for a few years and I know the WO thread exists, but with a red face I have to admit I have no idea what it's all about or why it's so popular. I think I heard other members mentioning how it's a bunch of TA analysis being shared between a tight group of members. I feel ignorant--probably because of all my ignorance.

swallow your pride, unignore me for a sec, or at least my post up there, all will be revealed^

Hey, I don't have you on ignore. I have a serious attention deficit problem (not joking), and I rarely read through entire threads when they get to a certain length so I probably missed something important in this one. I'll go back and read.

Edit edit: Heh heh. I skipped over that post because of all the pictures, but I did just read it now. OK, fairly good summary of the WO thread, thank you.
