Wonderful job! Hilarious! Nice touch, too, that you addressed the post to Big Dog, who (with a bunch of friends) made an AWFUL fool of himself at the FBN thread trying to "talk down" a non-existent issue. We thought we'd DIE laughing.
It astonishes me, though, that you're unable to figure out who we all are, since it's never exactly been a secret. FBN was, of course, an April Fool's joke, but the company had been around (in the virtual sense) for some time before that. You failed to direct people to the "Double Zero" thread, where you can find the history of FBN, should you care to read about it. It's a truly masterly humor thread.
Finding out about FBN does not, as you yourself admit, require the detective abilities of a Sherlock Holmes. Certainly nearly everyone involved with Y2K companies has known about it forever, and it's been discussed on a great many other threads here at SI. What amazes all of us is how many people fail to grasp that it was intended (as was CLON before it) as an illustration of how extremely easy it is to hype stocks. Sadly, we still get email requests (yes, we do have email) for our investor packet. And we had one serious enquiry from a real company that wanted specs for the EZsounder with a view to negotiating a licensing agreement.
This is one thing. But the following is quite another: Other information that has recently been brought to my attention gives me reason to form the opinion that they have also been on the side of a notorious shorting MM firm so as to assist that firm in shorting the companies the FBN group has persistently bashed.
Tsk. You are falling into Grave Error here. We really don't have any ulterior motives, and this business of the firm of shorts is idiocy. Another rumor that's been floating around for ages; I believe it originated in a post at the Yahoo VXTK board (I still have a copy of it somewhere; absolutely side-splitting). I'm sorry to disappoint, but we're not in anyone's pay.
Hope this helps. And by the way: I'm not by any means an "executive assistant", I'm a vice president. DO try to get your facts straight.
