That was different. E/o knew about it, but when it made it to the papers, they had to shut it down.
The recent National deal is an example of a deal that was (I think) almost unknown, and when he blogged it, it was shut down quickly.

And who bragged to the WSJ about their massive purchases?

It wasn't a WSJ exclusive investigation?

Deals get killed all the time. Nobody likes it but it is part of the game we play. Using private info to make yourself look good is not going to earn you any points.

A few ladies are meeting with me tonight to pick my brain. I tried convincing them to do it in the brewery, but no dice.
And I'm not charging them...

It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

We had it in the living room instead and I drank a Dortmunder.
Included 2 older ladies who pulled out tons of cards, parents, wife, and dog.
I feel kinda dirty...

it's just weird sitting with older ladies about this stuff since all the DDFers I've met seem to be young male Rabbis and bochurim

No bashing intended, and if it was MamaRots who was over to chat, it was great speaking with you.
