Fond memories of the good old INO days.

When did you start coming here Carl?

I added this to the Alex tribute post:

My favorite Alex story related to him being a liberal but very open minded. We never doubted his fairness and even handed moderating skills which never suggested leaning in one political direction......though Kate told me that he was even more liberal then she is and she is pretty liberal.

She told me, shortly after we met, that the only thing that they ever really disagreed on politically was climate change...........thanks to me. 

As every good liberal knows, we are having a horrible climate crisis and people that disagree with that(like me) are deniers. Seriously, there is very little tolerance or open mindedness when it comes to people like me sharing the authentic science which contradicts the climate  crisis narrative. 

For much of the last 10 years, when climate change came up here on MarketForum, metmike the poster would provide what Alex the moderator called "epistles" that would be, very similar to metmike's climate  posts today, very lengthy discussions loaded with links, data, graphs, observations and authentic, compelling science as evidence that there is no climate crisis and we are enjoying the best weather/climate in the last 1,000 years. 

Alex the open minded liberal took  note and completely changed his view on climate change. In fact, he created a special place in the MarketForum library that he called "climate talk" for all of metmikes climate posts. 

It is extraordinarily rare to see somebody do a,complete about face with regards to their view on a political topic like this (people's view on this, unfortunately is based almost entirely by the politics, even though its science).

So I have always had even more respect for Alex as somebody that really listened to what other people had to say and heard what their message was, even if it disagreed with what he thought that he knew.

Not sure, Mike, but it had to be several years before 2003, when INO News and Forum split.
