I have as good a sense of humor as the next guy, but If I were of Asian descent, I would probably find parts of this thread somewhat offensive. Whether you do it for fun or investment, everyone here has a vested interest in attracting as broad a base as possible.
That being said, the mayflies are on the water and I'm going fishing. I'll be curious to see what comes of this when I get back tomorrow night.

Oh Jesus....
I wondered when the "PC" crowd would chime in. Always just a matter of time.
Great work John.
Outstanding detective work along with a dose of humor.
