Greetings wanderer :) i'm glad my wife likes work! it gives us considerable cushion when planning. the health care thing scares me a lot less cause we have the canadian deal and her working 5 years more as fallback positions... Ditto! We have this in common.(Except the Canadian part.) Right now I'm...

Greetings db :)

Glad you finally made it! Welcome to the boards.

Greetings ataloss :) It would be interesting to see how many get free membership for the next year. (I am sure I won't be included this time) Since I haven't posted since then I doubt I'll get one either. Heartbreaking. :P

Greetings WiseNLucky :) But you are right -- attracting new posters to this site will be difficult. I have to disagree with you folks on this one. We have several new members since the move from MSN. I've received several emails from folks who like the boards but are just lurking for now. Once we h...

Greetings Hocus :) But how did this community come to exist except through the earlier creation of the TMF community? El Supremo came from TMF, so did Ataloss, so did wanderer, do did raddr, so did FMO so did Andrew61. Most of us now using this place to learn about early retirement are here by way ...

Greetings wanderer :) i's happy here. if i had more thumbs All this came about in no small part because of the efforts of yourself and the other regulars. Without your help I'd be sitting here with only ataloss and a few of my old indexing buddies. How much of THAT do you think I could take!:wink: ...

Greetings FIRE boarders :) What an excellent thread! While I will be happy if I can retire at all,:wink: this is just great stuff! wanderer : es, get your trigger finger ready... I was born ready baby! :wink:By the way, I never thought the middle east was a monument. I just always thought it was in...

Greetings Hocus :) I have no concerns other than those already expressed. IMO the closed minded on that board will just blow the post off.(A good thing I think.) Those on the fence will at least come over and see what's what. And the rest should benefit from the experience. A win win situation. The...

Greetings ataloss :) constructive debate encouraged, ad hominem attacks may be axed by ES Substitute the word "WILL" for the word "may" and you've got it right. Hey! Did you see that FrankZ is here?

Greetings Hocus :) I don't have a whole bunch of time to move forward on this right now. But I could participate in discussions here in an effort to develop a FAQ beginning in early January. Does this idea have appeal to any others here? If anyone wants to put a "FIRE FAQ" together I'll b...

Greetings ataloss :) This board is great but not perfect (yet) Getting a little greedy aren't we? :PI think using "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll Llantysiliogogogoch" is a little excessive.(Although I was amused. :lol:) Also raddr's suggestion of resizing the images seems a good ...

Greetings Hocus :)

Looks like all of your questions were answered. Thanks folks

Ataloss wrote: confident that ES sees the value of allowing criticism of a study If anyone has a question on which way the wind will blow around here they might ask ataloss. We've been around the boards together for years. And he was around well before I. Ataloss knows me well.

Greetings Hocus :) I pretty much agree with you on most of this. Let's just say if we get into a gray area on board rules or ethics I'll do what I've always done, listen to the long time board members who I've come to know and trust over the years. If push comes to shove and it's a more or less spl...

Greetings JWR1945 & Chris :) I'm hoping that this board will eventually get to the point where comments about posters at other boards will dwindle to almost nothing. IMO that will happen sooner rather than later. I understand there was a lot of pent up frustration for those coming from other bo...

Greetings John :)

This is great! IMO anyone who feels they have great posts similar to this should re-post them here. Great stuff!

Hi again Hocus :) Also, there really are a lot of people who congregate there (in lurk status) with a desire to know the realities of safe withdrawal rates. There are at least 46 of them I completely understand. We had the same situation on the old index funds board. But our lurker count was well o...

Greetings Hocus :) I hope that I will be able to persuade more than one or two of you to participate at the TMF board when it begins its Safe Withdrawal Rate Debate, Phase Two, sometime after the weather begins to get warm again. By the time the weather gets warm my "free" year at TMF wil...

Greetings John and Petey :) All of our FAQ's and other information that was to large to put on the MSN site is at: http://home.cinci.rr.com/indexfunds/ I haven't decided what to do with it if the new site takes off. For now I'll leave it all there. John is correct, there is a wealth of information ...

Hi Petey

The "Four Pillars" is his latest, is an easier read for most, and is the sequel to "Asset Allocation" so it's more up to date.
