Hi, Dave,

It was so nice of you to have responded to my query. I felt a triffle guilty for not having thanked you for the invaluable service being rendered by you to educate traders/ investors like me through your basic course in technicals as also other aspects including the futures. It was surely non-civil on my part not to have expressed my feeling of gratitude. I do this now and do this profusely. And, thanks for extending welcome for joining the community,

It appears, the query raised in the second paragraph - whether a flag formation remains classified as one even when the lower free end on the right touches or crosses the low of the flagpole - could not be touched upon in your mail. Shall be grateful, if you could do that now.
