OT to Mr Fleckenstein,
You've had the better part of a week to fully disclose your pertinent positions and relationships to the readers of this thread.
Instead, you claim to have further abused your position by seeking my removal from SI.
I have patiently waited for you to do the right thing. Again, you've chosen noncompliance.
As promised, I filed the complaint with the SEC.
It follows.
Of course, if you are in full compliance with SEC regulations, this was just a waste of my time. ;-)
Have a good day,
Ian.

I believe William Fleckenstein is in violation of the SEC's regulations against
touting.
Mr. Fleckenstein claims to be a Director of Go2Net (Ticker: GNET), the owner of
SiliconInvestor. William A. Fleckenstein, 45 years old, has been the President
of Fleckenstein Capital, Inc., a registered investment advisor, since 1996.

a Private Message to me from Mr. Fleckenstein which reads:

everything you said is FALSE.your behavior is unacceptable.i have reported
you to si
management,you should know that in addition to writing the mkt rap(were i
disclosed
my dell short position) i happen to be a director of gnet.i intend to see
that you
NEVER harass anyone like this again."
On the Dell thread at SiliconInvestor, Mr. Fleckenstein has been touting his
short position in Dell without disclosure to the readers of that thread what
positions he holds or manages that would benefit from a change in the price of
Dell, nor has he disclosed any other pertinent relationships publicly to the
readers of that thread.
In his defense, he claims to have made a partial disclosure at a different
website which I haven't seen and probably would not have been seen by other
readers of his posts on the Dell Thread. I don't know whether or not that
disclosure actually exists. Mr. Fleckenstein has not provided any reference to
help locate it.
