As I told Embraceyourinnerhillbilly, Ed may have a quirky way of communicating in writing, but I can assure you he's one of the more knowledgeable people I know. Ed has been enormously generous in sharing his knowledge of how Planet Wall Street works (both in theory and in practice) with me.

If Ed and I spent more than five minutes talking about you or Gary or anything else from this or any other board I'd be shocked.
