Never argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Chris - That quote describes the posting activities of Stephen Worthington ("Auric Goldfinger") and Floyd Schneider ("Truthseeker") perfectly. Often, their target is truly a troubled or manipulated stock, and their historical record isn't bad. But when they pick on a good little company just because it happens to be very thinly traded and therefore easily manipulated downward (GUMM), failure to rebut their erroneous or irrelevant statements has the potential to hurt the stock (that is, if one believes that anyone might buy or sell partly because of what he reads on an SI thread). So a few of us are arguing with them while waiting for imminent external events to crush them. -Eric
