Provides a lot of entertainment value doesn't it? Before the battle I liked anthony, probably still do, just got on the wrong side of a stock. Last hard head battle was with Joe Copia. We've talked since.

If SI is on the road to taking on more advertising, it is not surprising that Go2Net does not want to alienate its potential advertisers. Kind of similar to why Robertson Stephens cannot put a sell rec on Pluvia's correct recent short sell rec Sabratek - It's Bank of Boston/Robertson Stephens. They cannot badmouth a current or potential client of Bank of Boston. As banks get more into the brokerage arena - witness Nationsbank/Montgomery, First Union/Wheat First, etc etc... the need for a counterbalance becomes actually more important. A week or 2 ago, CNBC interviewd a Bear Stearns fixed income analyst who thought that a bank stock he was covering was a POS. Bear Stearns leaned on him to keep his mouth shut because the bank was a Bear Stearns client. Forget about common folk posting extreme viewpoints on chatrooms - the largest scandal is at the heart of the industry, and everybody - AIMR, the SEC, NASDR, etc. has the attitude of closing their eyes to it. Why? Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
