does love the AMAs. And talk about "meeting with the people" - a lot of Redditors, as far as I can tell, are young people who don't go to town halls and don't watch television. And my grandson loves what he feels is a more personal touch, sometimes one of his questions get answered. The thing about an AMA - it is clear right from the start if the AMA is from the heart, and not just a canned bunch of responses or just vague cheery crap. The people asking questions really do want the answers, and the questions feed off of each other after a while.

I got sidetracked there, looking at the comments on Bernie's proposal to tax fast trades. What is cool is that you can click on a user and see all of their comments ever. Some think this is a great idea for several reasons, some believe this will "ravage" their 401ks and IRAs.
