Rsurckla, re: I'm not trying to answer for jim But you did anyway.<g> You've made many suggestions that have just turned out to be more FUD and BS, more FUD and BS. Here's your chance. Provide some links to this and we'll discuss them. I'm always ready to admit I'm wrong if someone show's proof. I'm usually very careful to provide links to any statements I make as fact, but if you can show otherwise I don't mind admitting I'm wrong. I've done it before. BTW, can I provide links to Jim's posts? Or should we ignore those?

rsurkla. I've posted this before, but I think it bears repeating. From Money Magazine Yahoo! (messages.yahoo.com/yahoo/business_and_finance) Lay of the land: Watch your wallet here, because you're hanging out on the wrong side of the tracks, and there's not a cop in sight. This is where an engineer posted a link to a phony Bloomberg story in April announcing a buy-out of PairGain Technolog ies, sending its stock soaring before the fraud was unveiled. Yahoo! won't discuss usage statistics, but by sheer volume it is easily the most popular site (Yahoo!'s Amazon board, for example, attracted 1,176 messages on one randomly selected day, compared with 220 at SI's Amazon board). More is not more. Unless you 're 11 years old, you will quickly tire of the you-suck-no-you-suck banter that most often passes for investment conversation. Highlights: There aren't any. What with thousands of threads on penny stocks and spurious trading systems, the only reason to stick around is to start your own discussion through the Yahoo! clubs feature and rigorously limit access. Fitting in: Are you sure you want to? People do get booted for foul or threatening language, but troublemakers can simply create new aliases and log right back on. Save yourself some grief, and hail a cab back to the nicer parts of town. money.com
