CRAMER from TheStreet said it all in this article "But I know the truth: It's about pageviews and money." Commentary : Wrong! Rear Echelon Revelations Money and Pageviews Shape Message-Board Rules By James J. Cramer Originally posted at 4:01 PM ET 9/21/00 on RealMoney.com thestreet.com And don't I know it. At one point I suggested that TheStreet.com allow anonymous posters because I thought it would help pageviews. I was wrong. The editors were right; they didn't want to turn a pristine, albeit profitless, pool into a lucrative cesspool. Since then, TheStreet.com has decided to partner with Silicon Investor, one of the big message-board providers. Silicon Investor requires users to buy a premium membership in order to post messages on its boards; this results in much stricter rules and fewer anonymous attacks -- and I am grateful that we partnered with them. They do care. I sure wish it weren't about money. I sure wish that the reason why the big message-board providers don't clamp down was to protect freedom of speech. But I know the truth: It's about pageviews and money. I gotta go take a shower.<b/>
