Allen...
Unfortunately, you failed to read Section 17(b) which clearly states that no person can receive consideration without disclosing that fact to his readership.
That is all it deals with. Nothing less, nothing more.
"It shall be unlawful for any person, by the use of any means or instruments of transportation or communication in interstate commerce or by the use of the mails, to publish, give publicity to, or circulate any notice, circular, advertisement, newspaper, article, letter, investment service, or communication which, though not purporting to offer a security for sale, describes such security for a consideration received or to be received, directly or indirectly, from an issuer, underwriter, or dealer, without fully disclosing the receipt, whether past or prospective, of such consideration and the amount thereof."

Now Al-len, if I was being paid or offered consideration to say what I say, then I would have to disclose that, wouldn't I?? Think I plan on violating 17(b) when the SEC is already alledging I have violated it??
There is NO WAY in h*ll ANYONE (except you) with a rational thought process could construe that section as an abrigement on my right to post or freedom of speech and expression.
You are acting in a deliberate and defamatory manner. I suggest you stop it. As an individual who claims the capacity of thought, you have no excuse for misconstruing that Section of securities law.
And you are making me an issue. And I will continue to defend myself to the extent that I am allowed so if you wish to take up bandwidth with this BS, go right ahead.
From the amount of postings that you dedicate to me and my alledged activities it is obvious you have an obsession with me. Frankly, I guess I should be flattered.
Regards,
Ron
