Congrats, Marquette. But I wonder -- isn't the market meltdown enough punishment for one year?

Shhh! We are an opportunistic lot and take advantage of 'em when they're not paying attention. We're hoping Marquette views this as a positive experience

Will answering in the affirmative cause me any trouble with that restraining order?

Oh boy, what a loaded question.
If I get a vote, I'd request, Khan, that you add 5000 points to the Dow by the end of this week. The other 1,000 you could do next week.

Bring candy for your favorite moderator. Don't argue for a day.
I'll be selling bannings all day. $5 for 3 days. $10 for 7 days. Perma-bans will cost quite a bit more.
