Big Bull, One additional point........ In the previous message I digressed to the point that I inadvertently omitted another characteristic which supports my premise that Short Sellers are unlikely candidates as authors of the increased number of posts. As pointed out, for the most part Short Sellers are professionals and shorting stocks is one tool employed to protect (insure) previous gains. The great majority of the increased new posts are amateurish to a level of incredibility and unbelievability. As an uneducated (often pointed out by attackers) retired M/Sgt, I know for a fact that if I chose to attack this or any other company, I could do so in a much more professional, subtle, devious, convincing and effective manner than what I have observed on the YAHOO FGH message board. It is this very 'amateurish' quality of the posts which supports my premise that many of the new attacks may find their origin in some former longs with sour grapes who may utilize the message boards to spew out their venom of hatred toward both the company and those who continue to support it. Other attackers may, of course, include former longs who merely wish to reestablish positions and are making rather obvious attempts to keep the price low until they are in a position to do so. FWIW Regards SargeK
