As this thread winds down I will attempt to grade the performance of the posters here. There are many I won't think of at this moment so you can add additional posters to my grading summary.
I will start off with two guys where were very consistent and reasonable with their comments.
Aztec
LL
Both did a very good job and did not get down in the gutter with many here. They both get a B-plus.
Agip - tough to grade this guy. He sure whines a lot and is maybe better suited to the Dow thread but he was overall not too bad- Agip - B-minus.
Racket - he was kind of all over the place but was not in Flagpole's back pocket. Much of what he posted was garbage but overall - a C.
Fat Hurts - Not a total loss but much of what he posted was pretty bad. Thankfully he didn't bring the Global Warming garbage so for that I give him a C.
Sally V -brought a lot of insight and was one of the few conservatives here. A solid A.
Igy - His posting was a bit sporadic and his heavy usage of links diminished his overall contribution but he gets a B-minus.
Rigged for Hillary - Very powerful posting but faded in the end. A B-minus.
Marrietta - C
Trollminator - He is not a dumb guy but his insults and his immature attitude and his overall acting like a punk - he gets an F.
Flagpole - I never imagined anyone could be lower in the sewer than Trollminator but here is your winner. He is like the Danny DeVito character in Batman. He swims in the gutter. Just an awful person and wrong on everyone of his predictions. I feel so sorry for his wife. An F-MINUS-MINUS.
I can't remember everyone right now but feel free to add your grades. God bless you!
