TO ALL: Id's comments about "manipulation defenders" coming to this board are likely coming true. That's fine, actually.

However, all must realize that the FACTUAL information will keep flowing though over time, I'm sure. Many absolutely hate to see a thread like this. But if they simply name-call and get unduly defensive, it will backfire. The truth will come out even more.

Here is part of what id said last night:
"given the shenanigans and manipulations that we all witness daily on the boards, we would be stupid to expect that defenders of the status quo will not surface on a board like this and trivialize all efforts to further level the playing field. i am a confirmed capitalist and don't want my comments to be misinterpreted as promoting some utopian/socialist pipedream, but changes in the direction of increased fairness reflect the flexibility of capitalism at its best. some have already been made and more are entirely possible given a sufficiently noisy public outcry, which, make no mistake about it, can be incubated on just such a board as this. even the most powerful are occasionally humbled by a few souls with that rarest of all combinations--decency and cajones :). let the discussion begin!"
