hmmmm, ahhaha seems to be leading the assault i anticipated when i warned dave:

"Dave-great thread idea! isn't it interesting that the poo-pooers have hit it hard and early? i suppose you realize your intelligence will be insulted, you will be referred to as foolish, naive, an idiot or worse. attempts to shame you and all the rest of us who believe it to be worthwhile to promote and participate a broad public discussion about rampant manipulation/corruption among the big boys must be anticipated and endured."

ahhaha wrote:

"NO ONE breaks the rules. It isn't in an MM's interest to do so...it isn't possible to break rules or manipulate."

first, of course, is the obvious truth that no one making such a ludicrous claim (one immediately and rather effortlessly refuted by DG)can really expect to have any further claims treated seriously. moreover, the urgency, energy and antipathy with which ahhaha has responded to the
initiation of this thread only confirms my remark that:

"we would be stupid to expect that defenders of the status quo will not surface on a board like this and trivialize all efforts to further level the playing field."

thus, other anxious responses to this thread:

"This thread is an embarrassment to SI, eh?"

and:

"You are a disgrace"

and:

"what is the point of your thread?"

this is all quite encouraging. that such a new thread has evoked such an immediate and hostile reaction should energize further discussion in a way that bored indifference never would have. i think it is safe to say, we're on the right track :).
