HEY BOYS AND GIRLS! It is only a matter of time before you will be required to log in by your real name.
When you log in; you will also be required to state your position, the stock and the number of shares you bought.
It may go as far as to be linked to your brokerage account and we will all know how much you bought and when you sold.
It may even show if your short or long.
That's where I believe these message boards are headed.
Big Brother is watching!

NetCurrents Introduces ``CyberProfile' Service
Technology Aids Clients In Evaluating Anonymous Postings On Internet
BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 2000--NetCurrents, Inc. (Nasdaq:NTCS - news), The Premier Internet Intelligence Agency, today announced
the addition of CyberProfile, a new feature available in conjunction with its InvestorFacts, CyberFacts and CyberPerceptions services.
CyberProfile assists companies in evaluating anonymous postings on the Internet. By accessing the Company's proprietary database, using a series of predetermined
criteria, CyberProfile correlates the configuration and patterns of individuals who post fraudulent and erroneous information on the Internet, which may damage a
company's stock value, corporate perception or product line image.
Irwin Meyer, Chief Executive Officer of NetCurrents, commented, ``The last few weeks of Internet hacking raids on major Websites have negatively impacted the
perception of many public corporations. It is this type of unfortunate circumstance that clearly demonstrates how vulnerable public companies are to image impairment,
stock manipulation and dissemination of inaccurate or false information on the Internet. Our CyberProfile feature will aid our clients in their efforts to manage
misinformation and other damaging postings created by malicious individuals. To date, we have had success in correlating consistent characteristics of anonymous Web
identities and determining when an individual is attempting to manipulate a stock price, influence company perceptions or purposefully create the impression that multiple
individuals are involved in promoting a company.'
Victor Holtorf, Chief Operating Officer of NetCurrents, added, ``We are continuing to expand the sophistication of our CyberProfile feature and to broaden our database.
As our development efforts continue, we expect to be able to substantially increase the effectiveness of this enormously valuable feature and provide our clients with an
increasingly important tool for combating stock manipulation, dissemination of misinformation and negative perceptions stemming from the Internet.'
