No, go back and look, the post from Blue was favorable to the defendants. It was the author of the thread who was unfavorable.

Edit: I cut and pasted the comment I was referring to. I would comment too, but I am a web dummy, don't want my computer number to be available to all and sundry (see "remote name" below).

The WN3 are heros. This was a hoax and anyone who read the press release should of known better. BW should check out a story before they print it if they are so worried about their good name. This was for many greedy investors, a great lesson. Since no money changed hands, since there was no company, since the motve is so clear, and since BW was just fooled on April Fools Day, case dismissed. The court of common sense says BW must get a sense of humor. BLUE<<<<<
