I dunno, Colin. The whole "basher" thing seems to be a tempest in a teapot. I can't imagine somebody just arbitrarily picking a stock and saying "Gee, I don't like this one so I'm just going to post negative things about it for kicks." Thus, when people bring up this "basher" thing, I have a hard time taking them seriously. The "shorter" argument, which also gets tossed around a lot, is just silly on a 50¢ stock.
I can, however, understand that hype artists have everything to gain from sucking people into crap stocks, and that others with more moral fiber may detest this and speak up. When they do, this "basher" word seems to pop up, which I find fairly ludicrous.
I kinda wish you hadn't summoned me back here—as I said in my PM, EDII doesn't really interest me. I just dropped in to correct some erroneous info posted about magneticdiary and me. As I said in my PM, you and I made our peace and there's no particular reason for anybody else to give you a hard time about it. BTW, I don't know where you dug up that fbn.bc.ca thing, but it's pretty obvious from the "workmanship" that it's not mine, despite your mention. And being near Silicon Valley, with my ISP practically next door, I really don't need one in Canada—the LD charges would kill me.
Later and good luck to you,
