I did notice those posts. As far as I know, SI has no formal position on the matter. SI, as a company, is completely independent of their boards, which are here for general discussion amongst the public as a whole. Anybody is free to contribute, and their private donations are not a reflection on how any company views the matter. For example, we have had Cisco, Microsoft, and Delta Airlines employees who have contributed. That does not mean Cisco, Microsoft, nor Delta Airlines even care, nor endorse the matter. It is simply private individuals who care about preserving the integrity of the markets. As such, the phrase I had reserved for such believers in a "conspiracy"—the phrase which implied that one should expel air, through their lungs, upon my countenance, or 'being', or 'nether regions', has been politefully withheld. ;-)

Where does the money go? As much as possible, the money will actually go back to the contributors. We are approaching this under the statutes of anti-SLAPP. That is to say, we are certain that this falls under the province of a "Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation", whereby a company seeks to bury its critics under a barrage of legal fees, rather than the merits of its own case. When we prevail, we shall be entitled to recompense of all legal fees encountered throughout this dubious action. To that end, we shall return, to our fullest extent, all donations made by our contributors. Note that this is not a solicitation. I am merely attempting, as best I can, to explain any details of the action described by the gracious, and generous, yet unaffiliated third-party who started this thread. I would like to thank Ray Jay Johnson for pointing out this thread to all the members of Raging Bull. ragingbull.com Without his help, many people might not learn of our endeavours. They might never read this board and find the true postings of the matter. For his unending help towards bringing people to the Webnode LDF, we say, “Thanks, Ray Jay!!”

John - Many on the RB HITT squad seem to be experiencing paranoid delusions. One of 'em actually said, NEVER go to a link that they provide, unless it is a well known one. For example dailystocks.com would be okay, but the ones that THEY usually provide I am ALWAYS suspicious of. They can track the people that go to their sites. [post 11246 over there] What's next, wrapping their heads with aluminum foil to prevent THEM [their enemies who cruise around America disguised as telephone repair crews] from sucking information from their tiny brains? ...Mezz - This would be funnier if the lawsuits weren't such a waste of tax dollars.
