I liked the guy's insight too, and told him as much.
But he rips anyone's head off if they don't salute his posts as gospel, which is a red flag. And gets very personal when he does it. He also got a little stalker on me, which is another red flag.
I suspect that if he is really gone, it has more to do with some serious issues he has in interpreting ratings data in the "ACC" thread. He has gotten "Ratings" and "Share", and "TV Sets" and "Total Viewers" completely confused. And he did it twice, once after I had pointed out his mistake. Even an interested lay-person in TV marketing should know the difference between the three. If he is the expert he claims to be, he should know this stuff cold. This is the equivalent of a CPA confusing revenue and net income or an equity trader confusing bid and ask. It just doesn't happen.
George, your propensity for exaggeration is astounding for someone who should be a mature man. I made one post - ONE - mocking Sam (aka Carl Spackler) for his long-winded, self-important posts. ONE. Other than that, I did not utter a cross word to anybody. And, I certainly did not "rip" anybody's head off at any point, nor did I get personal.
And, I never "confused" ratings & TV share, TV sets & total viewers. I was on auto-pilot in one thread and referred to total viewers as ratings. It's no different than my mom & grandmother who repeatedly call me by my uncle's name, b/c I look like my uncle and they're far more used to seeing him around than me. It does not mean my mom & grandmother are confused about who's who..............they just simply are operating on auto-pilot. That was the same deal in that one post.
I'm not disappearing for good, only for now. There aren't any active threads right now that interest me. And, my free time is limited. When there are, I'll pop back up.
