Carl,
More good news for the thread. I have upgraded my search engine to capture the text from the messages.
Here are some of Richard's "Paid Basher" posts from this thread. I had to split it up, because the file size was too large:

Barry from 67.75$ to 213.75$... I'll take all you can give me of that very bad investment advice from BILOW!
He is playing everyone on this thread for a sucker... the problem is so many believe him... they think he offers creditability. He is a paid basher... he admitted this. Now he wants everyone to believe he was just kidding. Sure he does... he wants more replies to his posts so he can make more bashing fees. Please read my post #47678.

Bilow, you did say you were a paid basher. Do you ever feel guilty when you are proclaiming Rambus is dead, and prospective buyers don't buy, or stockholders sell because of your comments? I mean we can all make statements that could cause this but you are like a perpetual machine that never turns off. Do the powers to be pay you that much to post as much as you do?

Bilow.. "posting private information about posters on SI..."
What private information are you talking about? Anything I've posted about Pluvia is quite public. He, himself, also directed the thread to more public information regarding himself than the search engines have shown. I think you are getting a little frustrated that things are not going as well for you as a self admitted paid basher. With Rambus up 13 points in the last two days and positive news contrary to yours just keeps coming in. Give it up Bilow... you lost and Rambus has won, and the royalties will just keep coming.

Where's Bilow? Didn't get his bashers paycheck? I have heard that paid bashers like to be paid on time.

Hi Blake... "AMDroids look sillier every day...LOL"
Yes! Especially Scumbria!;GGG; At least Bilow has an excuse... he's a paid basher.
Before it's all over, AMD will use Rambus. They would like to use DDR, but they see the writing on the wall. It's only a matter of time.

Thread... Bilow quote (clip)...
;;BILOW SEES LIGHT ON RMBS!!!
I'm beginning to be convinced that Rambus has a good chance of controlling the memory market through their early Base Rambus DRAM patents...
If I were short, I would be getting out at the first opportune moment.;;
Something is up! There must be more good Rambus news coming that we have not yet been made aware of for Bilow to make such a post! If there is a tinge of anything pro-Rambus in his posts then we know something is up. For years he has wanted to save us longs and now he wants to save the shorts. SURE GOT MY ATTENTION! Either that or his Bashers checks stopped coming... I mean after all his posts stopped early Friday noon after the 50% increase in stock value. Companies of paid bashers would not look at that as being a successful effort on the basher part. Now here he is back singing what appears to be a different song. I mean talk about strange!!! This one statement alone will put the fear of GOD in all shorts...
;;If I were short, I would be getting out at the first opportune moment.;; (as per Bilow)
They'll go nuts on the Yahoo thread!!!;G; I can hardly wait until tomorrow!
Just think coming from their main man... The Bilow has spoken.

unclewest... The way this whole thing is playing out reminds me of the old flick with E.G Robinson. I think it was called "And Then There Were None". The plot being that 10 people (guests) were invited to a mansion where they were murdered one by one "and then there were none!"
Well here we have 10 top Dram manufacturers, three have fallen and there are 7 left. As each falls there will be less reasons for the bashers to harp on. Toshiba threw in the towel because they had a deal with Sony and were close with Rambus, so that was the reason here. Hitachi threw in the towel because of the pressure by Sega, so that was the reason here. Now we have Oki they gave up because they are a small company and were paid off according to Dan3. What will be the next reason? Eventually they will come to realize that they all came to an agreement because Rambus was holding all the chips, had the Royal Flush and played it well. The 7 hold outs at present are just dragging their feet to save face until the last minute when the betting gets to big when they will have no choice but to throw in their hands. They can't continue to be inactive in this game... either bet (sue Rambus) or fold the hand.

jim... Why are you picking on those guys over on AMD? They all know that Bilow doesn't know what the H*ll he is talking about. Like I said many posts ago, "He talks the talk, but can't do the walk!" Neither can he make any real money with his $2.80 stock trading system! He is simply an admitted paid basher and liar. Note: He said so himself.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!

GVTucker... ;; This 'paid basher' silliness is not one of them.;;
I take it that you don't believe that paid bashers exist and that is the reason why you think it is silly, or is it that you just don't believe that Bilow is a paid basher and that's why it is silly?
I believe that paid bashers do indeed exist and I believe Bilow is one of them because he told us he was. Now I don't know which part of because he told us you don't understand, but here are some things to consider when reading Bilow's posts...
Lesson 1: Remember, BASHERS NEVER Bash A BAD STOCK.
Check the boards for stocks with no potential. They never have any
Bashers. Bashers only go after stocks that are moving up or
have excellent potential to do so. Bashers work to bring the price down
to either increase their position at the expense of others or help a Short
make their bones.
Lesson 2: BASHERS ALWAYS BRING UP OLD NEWS THAT YOU
HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES. New startup companies always have
a few bits of bad news. The Basher will post this over and over
again. Unsophisticated Bashers will try to freshen up old news with a
new date or by-line in an attempt to fool you.
Lesson 3: BASHERS POST MANY TIMES A DAY. They try to wear
you out. They comment on everything, every other post, and can
answer every question. THEY KNOW IT ALL! There is no positive
comment they won't Bash. They try to control the board. True longs
may have to confront the Bashers or they will appear to the
newbies as being the people with all the information. This is best
accomplished by posting positive, well researched data on the company,
repetitively, while trying hard not to engage the Bashers in direct repartee.
REMEMBER - LONGS... RESIST USING THE BASHERS ALIAS!
Lesson 4: BASHERS WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE. Never trust a
Basher. The truth on startup companies is that they make mistakes.
What new company hasn't? The Basher will compare your issue to a
another companies, financials - deals - management, etc., trying to lure
you into making an Apples to Oranges comparison. Remember each
company is unique and while it is prudent to seek out established
indicators, do so with care and don't take someone else's word for it.
Strive to come up with at least a "six-pack" of indicators so your vision
of the state of a company is not tied to a single barometer. Not doing
so is tantamount to going to a Race Track and betting on the "Pretty
Brown Horsey".
BASHERS WANT TO WHISPER IN YOUR EAR - PLANT A SEED
OF DOUBT, AND HOPE THAT YOU ARE NOT SAVVY ENOUGH
TO RESEARCH THE TRUTH ON YOUR OWN.
This is how they achieve their greatest success.
DOUBT + FEAR + LAZINESS = BAIL OUT!
This is your investment... work for it, protect it and don't panic on the
words of very shadowy figure that "has your best interest in their heart".
Consider that one factor: Someone you have never met, is not a member
of your family, is now, out of the goodness of their hearts - GIVING YOU
FREE ADVICE (that you didn't ask for). It's a no brainer.
They have motives $$$$$$$$$$$$.
Lesson 5: Bashers know YOU CAN'T VERIFY THEIR STATEMENTS
That's why they make the vague statements they do.
They rely on you being to lazy to research their droppings other than
to scan the board for others opinions. This is particularly dangerous
when you consider that Bashers work in packs and often validate and
back up each others nonsense with what appears to be "innocuous
and unsolicited" verification by comrade Bashers. Let's face it, we
are all conditioned to "believe" everything we see in writing. If others
by virtue of their "posts" also confirm this belief, then we are
subconsciously doomed to swallow the hook, line and sinker...
Basher - 1 Honest Investor - 0
Lesson 6: The Bashers PLAY ON YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.
They can lie about information and you won't know the difference
(unless you have done your own DD on the company and know the
truth and facts).
Lesson 7: Bashers play on your lack of patience. You have held a
stock for a while. You knew it will be a big stock someday, but the
BASHER CAN GET TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TIRED OF
WAITING FOR YOUR GAIN. That's when the Basher is best. You
are tired. You have forgotten the goal for the stock was to hold it for
one year. The Basher is bothersome, so you dump it on a bad day.
Some others also dump. Then you get mad for your loss and
return to let everyone know how mad you are. Then you turn into a
semi-Basher as well. THE BASHER HAS WON, AND GAINED
A NEW ALLY - YOU!
Lesson 8: BRING THE PRICE DOWN. That is the Basher's job.
The truth is not important. Lies are the norm. Post continuously on
the board every day. They are trying to scare the newbies that are
just investigating a stock. They are trying to wear down the faithful
longs on the board and gain free reign and control.
A BASHER HANDBOOK:
Do not underestimate a Bashers influence on a stock. The Pro's
are good at what they do and what they do is profit from your
losses. Below is their "hand-book" so to speak. Learn from it or you
will be donating your hard earned money to them!
Rules for Successful Bashing -
1. Be anonymous
2. Use 10% fact. 90% suggestion. The facts will lend credibility to
your suggestions.
3. Let others help you learn about the stock. Build rapport and a
support base before initiating your Bashing routine.
4. Enter w/ humor and reply to all who reply to you.
5. Use multiple ISP's, handles and aliases.
6. Use two (2) or more aliases to simulate a discussion.
7. Do not start with an all out slam of the stock. Build softly.
8. Identify your foes (Longs) and the boards "guru" Use them to
your advantage. Lead them do not follow their lead.
9. Only Bash until the tide/momentum turns. Let doubt carry it the
rest of the way.
10. Give the appearance of being open minded.
11. Be bold in your statements. People follow strength.
12. Write headlines in caps with catchy statements.
13. Pour it on as your position gains momentum. Not your personality.
14. Don't worry about being labeled a "Basher". Newbies won't
know your history.
15. When identified put up a brief fight, then back off. Return in an
hour unless your foe is a weak in reasoning powers.
16. Your goal is to limit the momentum of the run. Not to tank the
company or create a plunge in the stock; be subtle and consistent.
17. Kill the dreams of profits, not the company or the stock.
18. Use questions to create critical thinking. Statements to
reinforce facts.
19. DO NOT LIE, NAME CALL or USE PROFANITY.
20. Encourage people to call the company. 99% won't. They'll take
your word for claims made. If they do call you can always find
something that is inaccurate in how they report their findings.
21. Discourage people from believing Press Releases.
Encourage them to call the company. They won't out of laziness.
22. If the companies history/PR's are negative constantly point to
that. Compile a list of this data prior to beginning your efforts.
23. If the price rises blame it on the hype or the PR, temporary
mass reaction, the market, etc. Anything but the stock itself.
24. If other posters share your concerns, play on that and share theirs too.
25. Always cite low volume, even when it's not.
26. Three or four aliases can dominate a board and wear down the longs.
27. Bait the Longs into personal debates putting their
focus/efforts on you and not the stock or facts. Divert their attention
from facts.
28. Promote other stocks that would-be investors can turn to
instead of the one your Bashing.
30. Do not fall for challenges on the "values" of what you are doing,
it's a game and you are playing it with your own rules.
