>You can be as bitter

Why do you keep projecting "bitter" onto anyone who has an argument different than your own? I've made a killing in the last year as well, but I KNOW -first hand- that it is all a scam and a pyramid scheme. How first hand is your knowledge out in eastern europe? How many IPO parties have you been to?

A sure sign of a failing argument is when you project personality defects onto anyone who doesnt agree with you.

And for your information, many people on SI choose to use anonymous nicknames. Companies out here can be very vindictive- and if everyone was forced to use their real name then you'd never read any juicy corporate info at all.

Did you know "deep throat" is still anonymous? The person who helped bring down the nixon presidency? Do you think all info gained through anonymous voices is to be shunned?

How about journalists? Do you think they should be FORCED to reveal their sources, under threat of violence? After all, we can't have anonymity in this country.

And whistleblowers at big corporations. They should NEVER be allowed to be anonymous. They've got nothing to worry about- i mean, companies have never retaliated against workers who blow the whistle. That's a myth!
