i would prefer dr. EygoG consider the market forums "impartially", rather than risk forming "relationships" through continued and sustained discussion of eve's economy. the risk for "social engineering" the good doctor for any one person's gain seems to outweigh the benefit of discussing the merits of akita's decryptor theory (for instance).
im confidant he takes your posts very seriously, akita. however, there might be an "ethics" question we may not have considered with regard to discussing the economy in any specific way...
im not asserting that is the case, but that it is worth considering as a possibility.

well, to quote jake from "the sun also rises", "it would be pretty to think so."
however, as you know, there is simply too much daylight between what we want and what we have.
i can only assume he has his "reasons" be they "ethical" or otherwise...at this point id prefer to take him at "face-value" rather than search for a subtext that may or may not be present in his posts.
cynicism has its place (and im not asserting you are being cynical, but that it could be interpreted that way), but at this point i'd be inclined to see it as "wounded sentimentality".

lol.
i really, really doubt people's motives for having the dr. "discuss" the market in a sustained discussion are as "noble" as its being presented.

LOL.
i have never "solicited" trust of any kind from any one in the forum. nor would i. i stand behind my words. if you see "cynicism" or an allegiance to something other than "nobility" that is your problem.
thanks for your honesty, though.

whether or not matthew is "right" or "wrong", his points are worth considering. anything less could be interpreted as "arrogance", perhaps even "naive". thinly veiled insults (in any context) add nothing.
sacrificing grace in order to gain power is not The Best of All Possible Worlds, is it?

ezoran, considering the doctor only published his econ blog this past sunday it might be a bit premature to assert he will not publish a response or to "ascribe" motivation for his "silence".
his posting history does support that he responds to his own econ blog, however there is not enough "historical evidence" to forecast the likelihood he will post in the future...
and even if he doesnt respond, there is no evidence to ascribe any motivation for his choice other than his workload prohibits a sustained and continued discussion.
but if we could take a moment to "speculate" what his motivation might be (other than workload), i would be inclined to say it is an "ethical" one or (less cynically) he is busy playing eve-online using an alt account in order to get "game-play perspective".

chribba,
my understanding of akita's post is that he would like to know who the top 20 posters are, what percentage of total posts they contribute, and the total character length of those posts compared with the grand total.
