Re: “why did you name that board "ROUND" ?”It comes from Raging Bull. On that system, TABLE was a very popular forum for discussing stocks. It went south when people arrived who only wanted to talk politics. I got fed up and discovered an abandoned board named ROUND (created by a brilliant fellow named "Briguy." Do any of you remember him?) that was created expressly for financial discussions.

Ironically, after I proposed on TABLE that we use TABLE for politics and ROUND for finances, clo popped over to ROUND and had its first post. Isn't that a hoot? Clo, who knows nothing about investing had the first post on the new investment board!

ROUND went on to be one of RB's most popular boards, with a whole lot of its POSTS OF THE DAY, if you remember those. When I came to AtomicBobs and created ROUND, it actually ticked off a few of RB's ROUND users who thought I had no right to use that name. I kind of felt that I did - not that it much mattered since AB never got the kind of traffic that Raging Bull once did.

BTW "ROUND" was an abbreviated form of "ROUND TABLE."

De

why did you name that board "ROUND" ?

Always wanted to know. Tks..

BTW

I am back home from my trip. Which is why I was absent.

I also discovered that taking even a relatively short trip of 4 hours one way and back the next day really drains what little energy I have.. I am seriously tired and having difficulty keeping my head steady and still.

I could use some kinda super energy pill that works great..
