FWIW - I for one, appreciate Bill's posts. If Bill exposes some fraud or another, that's good in my book. To say "but there are *other* frauds" is a non-sequitur. WTF? What does that have to do with anything? "Hitler was a bad man" "Shut up, Genghis Khan was just as bad, just because you bitch about Hitler is not going to make anything better, there will always be bad people"... Huh? Come again?
It's very "sophisticated" to say "gee, they're all bad", "buyer beware" - one of the points of SI is to let consumers voice their experiences and opinions. Why should they be repressed, just because there are *other* frauds? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
And if Bill chooses to give of his time and perform socially useful functions of exposing frauds and "complaining" about abuses, kudos to him! There are many consumers who rely on SI to be warned about bad brokers, bad newsletters, bad seminars etc. How the hell does it help them to simply hear a blanket "buyer beware"? Gee, thanks, but that's about as useful as hearing the "buy low sell high" mantra. We know that, thank you very much. What we want to know if THIS particular newsletter or seminar is a fraud and why - it might save us time and narrow the search for useful info... unless you don't believe useful info can be gleaned anywhere.
Finally, nobody is forced to read anybody's posts. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing. As is your choice what to listen to and what not.
Bill, keep up the good work.
