    And I don't argue that point. The stock has to be owned and risk is taken. But assumption of risk is not a unit of input effort that becomes a part of the productivity ratio.

    Glad to hear it. Pity you want to focus on your notion of what my emotional state is. Thought that was one of the "Red Rules of FSA", about sticking to what you know. And I am assuming that you are not actively cutting, splitting, or hauling timber so by your own assertion, you would be pretty extraneous to that entire company. I mean, who needs you right?




    Again it does not deflect from your admission that investment is part of productivity in post #46 of this very thread.
    You keep ignoring this, of course.

    Complete supposition on your part and also completely false. This is nothing more than an unsupported opinion of yours, and you keep vainly spouting it in an effort to support your failed proclamation.

    But nobody is buying it, amigo.

    Now it's about time for you to make another comment on my emotional state. Though you have about as much proof of that as you do the worthlessness of the idle rich.

    You consistently miss the point, I give up on you. Passive company ownership is different than active company management. I affect productivity by actively managing my business, not by simply owning them. And yes, I do do cut wood, bush-hog fire lanes, paint rooms, and occasionally dig ditches. I simply own stock in other companies but I don't affect their productivity at all because I do no work for them.

    Plus, I never once said that owners were extraneous to the company, I said they were vital -- just not part of its productivity.

    You may have misread my comment. "Including investments" was meant as a part of the company not a part of its productivity.

    I've already made my point, Dude. I don't care if you "buy it" or not. I'd rather see you buy a dictionary. :grin:

    OK, you're starting to sound like Ahmadinejad by proclaiming all my "proclamations" as having "failed". :lol:

    Did you really come back here to say this, yet again? How many times can you claim to give up in one thread? Is this #2 or #3? That's rhetorical, as I am sure you are good for at least one more.

    Hardly different, but equally incorrect. Your point is....well...pointless.

    You can make your insulting implications if it makes you feel better, after all you are the self proclaimed king of FSA, and rules(trumpeted by you only) need only apply to others, not yourself. As to buying a dictionary, that is a nice thought, but keep it for yourself. I majored in History and English so I find your "suggestion" misdirected and condescending. Not unlike your entire ridiculous, unsupported, completely destroyed notion that wealthy investors contribute nothing to productivity. But by all means, keep on keeping on. I am sure there are enough noobies here that might think you are actually making a point.

    Ah yes. The inevitable personal attack with the smile that can be easily erased as comedy when said person objects or does likewise. Isn't this one of your oft-proclaimed "poor debate" techniques? Oh wait, that's right. How easily I forget. It only applies to the target of your disagreement and never to yourself.

    Once again, I acknowledge the self-proclaimed rule maker of FSA. :hihi:<--laughter Red, not anger. Don't get confused.

    Gee look at that, all I need is a funny icon and I can turn any insult into a chuckle event. I thought only tiga had that much delusion. Or whatever you might call it.



    Still done with me or do you have one more in you?

    I'll just ignore most of your personal rant, but I have to point out the obvious:

    1. You can't show me where I've "self-proclaimed" myself as "King of FSA".

    2. You can't show me a rule "trumpeted by me" that applies only to others, not myself.

    What was the original topic in this thread again? :rofl:

    BTW...in case anyone missed it the government is extending the conversion. Some stations obviously didn't get the memo and will be cutting off their analog feed anyway.

    The morning paper said that all of the Baton Rouge stations would now be extending their analog deadline. Channel 9 finally caved in and said it was to avoid channel confusion. Right now they broadcast digital on channel 46 and analog on 9. When the switch happens, the digital signal moves to 9.

    This Baton Rougue thread about OTA on AVS Forums is located HERE. I just scanned it and there is some confusion about how long the BR stations are actually going to be broadcasting analog. Supposedly the government hasnt made the continuation of analog mandatory, they just prohibited it from being cut off before the 17th.

    EDIT: New Orleans info is located HERE

    Alexandria info is located HERE
