Joana, Funny you should ask. I have a theory on why SI is changing and why there are guru bashers, manips, thread invaders, interlopers, etc. IMO opinion it is the work of GNET. Now before you fall over in shock let me explain. There is no question that the business on SI has gone from investors talking about business to a few people who are in the harassment business. The question is why would SI allow this to happen? Or to be more direct, what is in it for them? With NDB giving out free SI accounts there is no question that SI is open for the quality to drop. So how do you get people ready for that? Simple for the past several months you allow harassment, threats, interloping, any thing goes, just like SI Bob has been doing. Now the next question. When go2net is wired to Paul Allen's wired world, do you think people will pay for SI or do you think that SI will be part of a package deal? So then we have the possibility of millions of new posters to SI. Yup, SI knows what they are doing. They are letting SI slide now so it isn't a big shock later. Kevin Watson was right, SI? "it's dead Jim". BLUE edit: Ah, the rare and lucky 7 grub.
