Member Question's S.I.'s Judgement

David Smith has been a PeopleMark for me over the past 2+ years. I've found his postings insightful and truthful.
And actually, it was David's postings about ROBO that lead me to this thread which I have read from time to time.

What has prompted me to post (after years of reading/not posting) - is something David wrote recently on his newly created "Let's Get At The Truth" thread. David questions whether S.I. has "sold out" - by letting "for profit" firms use the site as a staging site for their own means.

Seeing all the references to www.marketgems.com in the original post (each time I read the thread), I can't see how S.I. can see it anything else but a giant solicitation.

If S.I. has ex-communicated Tim Luke from its membership for touting his triggers, then why hasn't the same rule been applied here.

Steve Yamner on the "From the Trading Desk" has sometimes in distant past replied to questions regarding his firm or being filled at horrible spreads by broker selling order flow with suggesting that the person that posted call him the next day for help in opening an account.

While it seems S.I. treats solicitation as a grey area, I have to side with David that S.I. has totally blundered with respect to the marketgems issue.

To have sided with a commercial entity at the cost of one of our most insightful and informative posters was not the smartest thing to do. I can only hope David chooses to stay and that in the future, S.I. cleans up its act before the "S." is known for something other than Silicon.
