Jeff, I can see it now. A new BB stock, let's call it SCAM. The longs create a thread and gradually exclude everyone who doesn't sign a non-disclosure agreement stipulating that they will never, ever question anything from the company, be it a PR or an SEC filing or crucial information disseminated only to the thread founder who maintains daily telephone contact with SCAM's CEO on an hourly basis. Then a second SCAM thread is started by those excluded from the first thread. On the second thread, questions are asked, PR's are probed, filings are analyzed and so on. This thread is unmoderated so as to keep the flow of ideas and responses active. Next we will have flame wars across the two threads, as moderators try to exclude one another from various threads. Then the war escalates. Not only are people excluded from SCAM, a new stock call POOH arrives, and people race to exclude others from their threads. Ultimately, this ends up with everyone posting to their own private thread as everyone else is excluded for one petty offense or another. After SI_Admin Bob, I wonder who will be the most excluded person... Hmmm... KJC
