Thank you for the correction, John. Understating things is a bad habit of mine.

The site itself is therapeutic in the way you describe. I don't mind the occasional kook&#151I think we're all that way sometimes. I know I am. The degree of looniness is my question, though. Whereas one might have a bad day and call you "A TOTAL FREAKING IDIOT", I don't find it acceptable to say out of the blue, "I know you went to prison for child molestation and stock fraud," without having any evidence. BTW, child molestation and stock fraud seems like an interesting mix. Just to check my thinking on the matter, I wanted to see if degree of infraction was important to others.

Regarding SI: it's a four-person operation managing a site with over 30,000 active members. That's gotta be tough&#151I'll cut them some slack.

On amateur, two-bit, penny stock promoting thieves: Amen! In fact, I'd like to reference another post of yours which is somewhat related to the matter (I really liked it):

In case any of them are feeling down, may I suggest: techstocks.com

Warm Regards,
