What an utterly weird posting!

not only do many newbies lose money, then they must endure ridicule from the ones who assisted in ripping them off

Say what? I admit that I don't hang out a great deal on the BB threads, but I don't recall seeing that the people here assist in ripping off the newbies. In fact, I have seen honest attempts to dissuade people from throwing their money away rejected with scorn.

Ah, well, so it goes....

Mr. Tonto,
I have no shares of RMIL and your repeated accusations that I am Pugs further demonstrates how little prowess you have for diligence.
I would suggest your last post to me meets all the criteria for this threads' moron. I do believe you will find out who I am, but not as a result of the very poor diligence you have demonstrated with your last post, and when you do, the game will be over, game , set & match!

Good day

RB <<

<<<I missed the last promotion of the thread. >>>

It was the July 4th "Buy one moron, get one moron free" offer.

jhild,

I think it would spread a bit further if you introduced us to some of your friends on the PABN thread.

Best Regards,
