Hi Raymond: Re > distorted excerpts of their article.<< when it comes
t the mostly fools I have a hard time respecting them..and it seems
to me that thier writings are so distorted to begin with, that
no matter how you twist them you can't mess it up more than it
already is..
They talked about the huge 2 cent profit as if it justifies
all the losses..never mentioned it was not really there as
earnings just claimed as earnings..it was a wind fall from
the telsave deal..not earnings from their working modle..
in fact their working modle lost money...calling it earnings
is sort of like me calling my income tax refund earnings..
then they covertly pointed out that it was not as good as last
years 14 cent earnings...that was missleading too; by implying
that AOL made money last year , it's a fact that AOL was forced
to stop some of their funny book keeping..and when they did;
it's a fact that AOL never did make any profit..not a cent
from the get go..and asset value has gone to negitive book value..
the sick thing, really sick..was the mostly fools pointed out how
so many other companies cook their books ( in basic dishonest
and misleading book keeping fashion ) this is like saying well
so and so does it so it's ok for me..
In Florida there is a case pending were a Pedophile, one among many
that lurked on AOL..has been caught is being charged in court.
His statement alone is very daming to AOL..as he says he can prove
they knew what he was up to..and failed to enforce the TOS..as
they did not want to lose his account, or accouts like his..as
they were the big spenders...wait till it runs it's course,
that is if AOL don't manage to squirm out of it..by paying some
people off..but just the same because that fellow used his
account to seduce children does that mean it's alright for others
to..in effect the mostly fool hi-liting the crooked book keeping
of other companies and saying AOL didn't do any thing they didn't
do; "like that made it all alright and honky dory"...that's sick.
That's the mostly fools.
