On the SA DGI chit chat (which Cemanuel now moderates) some have recently pushed for limited discussions regarding non-dividend payers , CEF's, Football, etc ... But talk of Salmon still appears to be an ok subject. - I just shake my head and move on.
I'm sure eventually Cemanuel will find a proper balance to appease all those commenting there.

Because of our small size, we have some freedom to "run wild, but keep it under control". About the only rule here is be nice, and don't make comments that will surely cause a brawl. (Like too much politics not directly related to a specific investment issue). OK, I meant a "real brawl". We razz each other constantly, especially over bad short-term investment calls. It's in jest. We can count on each other for the best advice they have to offer given their experience.
It's an investment forum so we have to be a little cautious, but I know the marital status of the frequent posters, whether they have children or not and approximately what age. We know some/most of the hobbies our friends enjoy. When they hope to retire. Approximately where they live and what they do for a living.
We'll chat any kind of investing from DGI to the more risky stuff. I feel no obligation to do anything I am not comfortable with. It causes me no harm to read about it or scroll on by. We'll also chat some MLB, NFL, fishing golf or whatever else on an off topic thread. We get considerable joy in that. When does baseball finally start lol?
Pretty sure I just described what friends do, whether "real" or e-friends. I see no problem with this.
I know you are reading this Ron and I sure wouldn't want to run you off. Half the folks here are half your age. They are finding their investment path, but to my knowledge all the regulars have a DGI port. Even the ones you see posting daily trades that are likely short-term. They understand the importance of some core DGI.
