Wall Street's closet critics blast their own

Readers have had a lot to say about the goings-on of Wall Street over the past month.

People who don't work on Wall Street have sent a deluge of e-mail lambasting decision-makers in the financial world.

People who do work on Wall Street, in turn, have written to say that members of the public are ignorant, uninformed, jealous, delusional and hypocritical, considering they were the engine that revved up the crisis by taking on mortgage risks they couldn't afford. I even heard wonderment that the public doesn't seem to understand that firms such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc employ people with "superior" minds.
