i've never bit to !!!!!!'s comments about deleting posts - but yes i have deleted posts and entire posts because it makes my profile 'cleaner'. no other reason - why would anyone really care about posts that have been on a thread that is now dead? the only person that does is !!!!!! - a very lonely man with so much time on his lonely hands that trawled through an entire posting history for a weak dig at me.

I didn't have to trawl through anything. I have this wonderful thing called 'a memory' which enables me to recall posts I made in the past on this board. It's quite useful - and when I saw the new estimates of 110k city redundancies I thought back to the arguments over 40k redundancies.

A quick search brought it up and lo and behold, you were there making an idiot of yourself 5 months ago. And surprise! All your posts had disappeared. Why might that be?

Oh wait - you like to 'clean' your profile? What might that mean I wonder? I'm happy to stand by anything I post ont these boards - you on the other hand feel the need to go back and remove stuff that shows you to be clearly wrong in retrospect.

personal rage!? i think i'm the most laid back person that i know!!?

Your posting behaviour tells a different story. It's clear you are ashamed of them when you go back to delete or edit them so why not just address the issues you have in the first place?

The forum's self-proclaimed financial expert chucky says 35K whereas a bastion of Fleet St, the Daily Telegraph says 85K. They both can't be right.

So who's the weakest link?

YOU DECIDE

Haha

To be fair, he produced quotes which pointed to 35k starting and 65k average. Oh wait, d'oh!

It should be fairly easy for a mod/admin of this forum to put an end to this once and for all by checking the IP addresses of those posting... Would that be possible?

Possible but why would they bother? If a bunch of idiots want to chuck insults backwards and forwards then let them. It's pretty dull for the rest of us but nobody's making anyone stay here.

I was just saying it would be possible to check it out. I couldn't really care less if people here had some strange reason to make up multiple user accounts really, although it would be nice to stop reading every second post accusing people of being a dupe account.

So where has the 8 billion gone?
The one world banking operation passes "the book" round the world to keep up with the day light.
It was last seen being seized in USA so PWC (liquidators)would like to know why "our" chunk bailed out over there, just in time for the USA creditors.

We woz robbed

The last two major investment banks in the US have changed their status to become bank holding companies, allowing them to take deposits from investors.

The changes should enable Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to raise more funds by opening commercial banks.

In becoming holding companies, Goldman and Morgan would also get access to the Federal Reserve's emergency lending facilities. But that access comes at a price: greater scrutiny by regulators and new capital requirements.

Thank you, worldtraveller, for dragging this thread back on track. This is interesting; the bickering isn't.

Heres a few billion you didnt have access to a minute ago and no need to merge with a bank now

It's interesting how this is the opposite of what happened in the Great Depression. Will it really make a difference to their finances though?
