voyagers_stocktips, I can tell you right now ... it was NOT a racial comment. I'm not sure why you would think so ... unless YOU were being racial yourself. Many times you are judged by the company you keep. On RB, many posters (especially those deeply involved with fleabag BB stocks) sometimes tend towards vulgarity and racial commentary. I speculated (for a second) on whether or not it was racial in meaning, and then decided it was not. I gave you the benefit of the doubt then, and I do so now (though you have no need to accept or reject anything I might think). I accept your statement (and believe) you when you say it was not racial. I apologize for any misunderstandings. I just said over on the RB, that I found it somewhat suspicious, that the SEC chose the day that the F.I.R.E. group launched their campaign, that the SEC chose that day, to lodge those charges. And I correctly predicted that one of the conspiracy theorists over on RB would raise speculation in exactly that direction. And I was right. Actually though I was wrong. I never suspected that it would be you. I was quite sure it would be either koo, coolhand, speculate or jovial. Well, you can't win them all. <g> Spearleaders, Spearheaders, not much difference if you ask me .. both mean the SAME THING to me, which is that in my opinion, the OTCNN has been much in the fore front, of getting the public to write to the SEC to change the (current) status quo. I believe you're being quite naive if you believe that OTCNN's motives are altruistic. My opinion is that the parent company has a vested interest in pandering to the masses that might believe the garbage that they offer on their website. Sort of keeping the interest alive until the next selling opportunity comes along. Re-read the SEC release regarding Merger Communications, and remember that Merger is the parent of OTCNN. Lastly, you don't know me, or even what race I am (fyi ... while I appear 'Caucasian', I will tell you that in reality, I am American 'mutt', which is, a little bit of everything, including American Indian, as well as other things), or nationality. Quite correct. I don't know you. I "know" you only through your words and those with whom you choose to associate with. Perhaps the threads you post on offer some clues as to your personality. But I have no idea if you are black or brown or white or yellow or red. I have no idea if you are fat or skinny or somewhere in-between. I have no idea what your hair color is or the color of your eyes. If it weren't for a random post by someone that referred to you as a "she", my mental image of you would still be that of a male, not a female. Also ... I guess you didn't know that I had a SI membership, did you? Also, that Janice had refered me here to learn more ... well I guess I just did (learn something), about types like you, didn't I? Actually, I knew both of those things. I had read Janice's post on RB, and checked SI to see if you had a membership. There are 5 "voyager" aliases on SI, and I presumed that at least one of them belonged to you. You have as much right as I do to post here. I don't begrudge you that right. However, I do think that you must post responsibly and factually (and so far, you have). If you don't like me, well then, that's your loss. I assure you that I am a very likeable fellow. But as Janice is prone to saying, and I will paraphrase her as best I can, "I don't suffer fools easily". And yes, I think anyone (especially someone that readily admits to being somewhat of a novice in the markets) that speculates in the fleabag companies on the OTCBB is a fool. But the nice thing about that is that you're not fooling anyone any more than you're fooling yourself. A good day to you. KJC
