Dood, get this straight... There are people here who have put their time in. You haven't. These people have done a considerable amount of giving freely their knowledge of the market over these years. You haven't. That's IMHO the difference. What have you given the SI community? WHAT? A bunch of threads spamming a site that requires people to spend money to get your OPINION? Who are you? You haven't proven anything. You appear to be a Mr. Carpetbagger, nothing more. Why not lay down some picks you have gotten off your system? Let's put them through the wash for a few years and then maybe you'll earn a little respect. Otherwise....

When you signed up, they first showed you a terms of service which you had to click "I agree" If you didn't read it, then that was your mistake. We all like the anti spam policy that SI has. Otherwise, SI would end up being a fools paradise like Ragingbull or Yahoo. You want to advertise on SI, fine contact them and pay for banner ads, and anyone who isn't a member will see them. I paid my membership, and I don't want to be spammed. And, since you are a bigshot...then as a bigshot, you know that $150 is a joke of a fee. Most advertisers on the Internet wish they could advertise for only $150.. What's NBCi charging for internet real estate these days... Not $150 or $250 like SI charges for a lifetime. Secondly, If your services are so valuable, and maybe I'll examine your site later (images off so I can see if the content is worthwhile before I contribute to any banner click program..sorry) Then why would you need to resort to this quasi-spam method of pushing your site... Next point. If as you say, other posts of the 6 figure membership, are in fact posting links to their sites, where they earn a living, then you simply need contact SI-admin(Bob) or (Jeff) and they too will see their spam go poof. There is even a thread to report said spammers on SI called SI Spammers hall of fame. Subject 25505 In short, SI is not a place for touts. Go to ragingbull, you'll last a few hours longer. As for the banning of HTML.. Why? Not all links in messages are for deceptive purposes.. POsting a link to a relevant site that talks about the threads subject is allowable...as long as it is obviously used to aid in the discussion at hand and not to promote Beatem and Cheatem law firm (example) I could, for instance, post a link to a SEC document outling the enforcement decision made of a pump and dump spammer , on this thread...and that would be tolerated because I certainly am not compensated for it, by the SEC, and it may have relevance here. I'm not going to spend my time trashing you, because I have other bigger fish to fry at the moment, but let me say this... You really seem like you are a naive rookie to how all of this works..I am amazed that someone as big and powerful as you (formerly of NBCi) has never heard of Silicon investor before and it's rules and regulations.. Side note, if you did in fact work for NBCi, could you tell me what went down with Snap.com and the healthgate deal?

oop..I just checked Ragingbull and YUp... They booted you as vincent64 and you returned as datashaping.. I thought your site looked familiar as I remember the spamming rampage you guys went on. You see, just for a lark, I troll Ragingbull for the spamming bots, and I sign up enforcement@sec.gov to their listbots. When I clicked on your Ragingbull spam, and got your site, I saw it wasn't a penny stock newsletter pump and dump.. But I do recall seeing your logo. And I also thought..gee, an also ran. just like Indigo...and all the other trading software packages that ar e being pushed out there... Vincent. Stop pretending you are shocked by the welcome you have received... You know exactly what you are doing. You knew full well this sort of thing isn't permited..
