I think it's totally rational to discuss financial issues on DCUM. DCUM has many intelligent people with high income.  Several people go out of their way to give good advice.  Any advice should be taken with a grain of salt, and a person has to weed through lots of non-relevant responses. However, I think this thread has several good discussion points.

I think that if you don't like a thread, don't participate.  Not sure what trying to tear down the thread and its OP accomplishes. [/quote]

I mostly agree with this post, but I also agree that OP started the post in an obnoxious (mildly trollish) way, and I don't think she should be surprised if she got some pushback (same to the poster who suggested only people with a net worth over $5 m should participate in the thread).

In short, I think there have been useful financial discussions on DCUM but I think: 
               1) DCUM is not the place for discussion of financial strategies of the extremely wealthy (opening a Roth IRA for your teen is obviously not possible for most people in this country, but it's not the kind of thing you need $10 million to implement) and 
               2) if you really want to have a useful discussion, it's best to discuss things with as little attitude as possible (and I know that some posts which I thought were entirely benign/cute have struck a real nerve with others).[/quote]
