That baffles me.

Peace, Mike
If you knew my business mike you wouldn't be baffled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I worked on the New York Mercantile exchange, we traded commodities, crude oil, gas, home heating oil, etc etc....the trading floor is filled with booths for each company, in each booth there could be 20 phone line's sometime's more. It was custom during a minute of silence to pick up a ringing phone to stop the ring, and answer it in a whisper and explain the circumstance, also This was a world wide market. Ignoring the call wasn't wise. A big order could be at the end of that phone, and when the minute was over needed to be executed. If i spoke with rosen it was for maybe 15-20 seconds . Your attempt at trying to trivilze my action's during this "solemn moment" is disgusting!!!! I hope your not baffled any longer mike, but you never know.
