<<<Off Topic>>> Hype Hi Warpfactor, Imho, the best way to deal with the sort of thing you refer to is simply to point it out and ask for substantiation. Now that this board pays attention to many small companies whose stock is much more subject to manipulation, we are bound to see more Hype. Most of us won't be influenced by Hype, anymore than we would buy those phoney Rolex watchs that are sold by men on the street. But it is certainly a Good Idea to point out the shady posts and ask the right questions. This can be considered a Public Service. It is protective of newer, inexperienced investors who might be more easily tricked. Also it is a positive influence on the quality of the board. It's No help to the truly gullible, but there will always be others who Will be helped by having the flaws in the Hypsters' pitchs pointed out. Helping each other is what the point is supposed to be, yes? The fact that such Hyping tactics can be successful in influencing some people just goes to show that P.T. Barnum was right --- There Is "A Sucker Born Every Minute". regards, diana
