Ataloss: I thought I was exercising restraint by not following wanderer's advice Quote from Wanderer: also, please make sure there is a link to your posts, around the time preceding Ed Easterling's visit, citing evidence that hocus definitely didn't 'know it all' from the beginning. If disparaging ...

I had wanted to join in on those discussions, but I decided not to. I was overwhelmed by how much effort that it would take to overcome even the simplest of errors. I decided that the thing to do was to put up a post at the Early Retirement Forum letting people there know about this board and invit...

I think that we shouldn't discourage John from continuing his investigations, and in fact, we should encourage him. I agree, BenSolar. You have some sort of personal issue with me that keeps you from participating at the SWR board where JWR1945 is doing this wonderful work. I ask that you reflect o...

People do not like to call the study invalid. IMHO, they interpret that word as rejecting the historical sequence method in toto. That is not your intent You do not intend to reject raddr's sensitivity studies, nor my investigations that have used the FIRECalc, nor many others. I think that that is...

I am always happy to post where I am welcome and it won't be too frustrating an experience. Then you should be posting here like a madman, Pete . The issue are as important as can be, and JWR1945 and I could use the company. The thing about your posting behavior that baffles me is that you say over...

It is surprising to see how far we have advanced in such a short time. There have been a lot of contributions by a lot of people and a lot of steps, most of them very small. Taken together, they add up to a lot of progress. I agree completely.. This debate has demonstrated both the best of the new ...

People are unwilling to post here because you're here hocus, no other reason. It's not me personally that is the problem. It is what I am going to do about the disruptive posting tactics that keeps defenders of the conventional methodology away from this board. The people who don't post here don't ...

Wicked post! I'm beginning to understand why there are so few willing to post at this place. Watching you post lately is like watching Bob Gibson pitch in 1968. Looking at it from a seat on the bench, it's a thing of beauty to behold. But who really wants to pick up a bat and walk to the plate and s...

I learned of the Scott Burns column linked below from an Ataloss post on the FIRE board. Ataloss picked it up from an RKMcDonald post over at the Motley Fool's Retire Early Home Pafe (REHP) board. http://money.msn.com/articles/invest/extra/9111.asp?special=msn Excerpt: Their findings, in a nutshell ...

A safe withdrawal rate for a particular mix of asset classes may have been near 2%. However, THE SWR could not have been less than the TIPS ytm. It becomes impossible for a community to learn about a subject matter once a discussion board becomes polluted with word game posts. Your comment shows ho...

Repeated conspiracies against hocus cannot follow him from place to place without his having something to do with what happens. There are no conspiracies, Pete. And it is no coincidence that great hostility has been expressed re my posting at two different message boards. This is not personal. Peop...
