Is it because Dorian is the only person with a dubious past.

He's not just ONE of the directors, he's the chairman of the board. He is the company's founder and I think he is also the largest single shareholder. He is probably the single most powerful person in the company. Bradford never says anything - public statements come from Reed. He even "developed the technology" for the site, if PR is to be believed. One could argue that Dorian Reed *is* hitsgalore.
If the boss has a "dubious past," as you so aptly put it, then it doesn't really matter if others in management or on the board are clean. One bad apple, and all that.

...Mezz - IMO, FWIW, PDQ, LSMFT

Bob, one is enough.

Like lying. If a company lies once I don't trust them on anything. I need not dissect every thing they've ever said to make this decision.
All it takes is one Dorian Reed to make a good short candidate.

Bob, re. <<You bashers never seem to mention CEO Steve Bradford or the other directors of the company>>

Well, Bradford has an interesting record of his own, that is detailed in his bio in the 10k. It doesn't compare with Reed's bio, in terms of ugliness, but it does have a few things that are unusual for a CEO of a stock with a market cap this large:

Steve Bradford is the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a Director. For
the past 5 years Mr. Bradford has primarily been self-employed,
in the
telecommunications and internet areas. Prior to being a founding stockholder
of Old Hitsgalore.com, Mr. Bradford and Mr. Reed, a principal stockholder of
Old Hitsgalore.com and the Company, together owned I Wonder Technologies, a
now-dormant business
that focused on satellite applications for long distance
learning and the transmission of voice, data, video and the internet. From
January, 1994 to January, 1995, Mr.Bradford also was employed by Biomat, Inc.,
a privately-held manufacturer of lawn and garden products during its
development stage and assisted it to develop its business plans and other
administrative functions. Beginning July 1996, Mr Bradford served for one year
as Chief Operations Officer of OUP, Inc., a closely-held direct mail company
in Kansas City with annual sales in excess of $10 million. Mr. Bradford was
also a director and President of Wamego Real Estate Development, Co., Inc., a
Missouri corporation, then owned by Mr. Bradford's wife. After sale of that
company to a third party and Mr. Bradford's resignation as President, the
company filed for protection under the Bankruptcy Code on September 28, 1995,
case number 95-42574, in the Western District of Missouri.
The case was
converted to a liquidtion on October 8, 1996 and is awaiting closing. Mr.
Bradford holds a BS degree in Business Administration and a JD from the
University of Kansas.
