There's a wine called "The Bitch" that comes in a black bottle with a pink label. It sells cheap ($6-$9) and is a great gag gift. I have yet to taste it. The back label says, "bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch..." all the way down and always garners a laugh upon presentation. All recipients of my "gift" have taken it in the style it was meant and laughed from the gut.

This info was not meant to malign anyone here but only is mentioned to signify the differences you point out between an investment forum like Agora that is trying to maintain a focus on the investment and a "bitch" board like ihub or RB that consists of nothing but attacks on the investment from every angle.

I think of Agora's EDIG board as a wine coming into its own, almost drinkable, exhibiting signs of greatness.

Without Agora's rules of the road and diligent enforcement via hub leaders etc, we might be forced to only drink such wines as the "Bitch". Instead, this is like a good Cabernet almost ready to cork....but not yet. LOL
