Well, what I meant, and I believe you are agreeing with me, is more along the lines of....

I just bought extra shares of AMZN before the FED announcement at 2140 and sold afterwards at 2146.

And then someone comes in and says NO WAY! Well, why, on what basis, does someone gainsay that? And invariably the comment comes from some guy who knows little or nothing about the stock market.

Or, I post claiming that I won $32K on that last trip in Vegas.

Someone who has never played high end table games or certainly Baccarat in his life, comes in and says, NO WAY!

Or, like the examples I gave above...Axel has never boosted the SEO of a site in his life, wouldn't know a backlink from any other URL, and then he posts some nonsense like that about how it is "easy" to "manipulate" Alexa rank with those "methods" (I use the term loosely) he describes. Or he asks for a CTR from a table game player (or from any player, as if it were a piece of paper handed out).

These sorts of things make ME anyway, realize that some of these guys are quick to comment on about anything, whether they know much (or anything) about it at all.

I try not to do that, immediately pounce on anything someone says especially if I am not an expert on the subject. As far as Rob's claim to have won all that money at some double up bug, and to own that $1.3M (or is it $1.5M ) motor home, I gave it to him UNTIL people came in with hard evidence contradicting whatever it is that the guy was claiming. But some of these others, the first words out their mouths are "couldn't be" and Axel is the worst of that lot. Maybe he's been conned a lot in his life that makes him so skeptical, but he's wading in unknown (to him) waters and would appear wiser if he'd listen (and maybe research) more than he spoke (to the tune of TENS OF THOUSANDS of times that he does speak, without listening or researching).
