I would hope that my accomplishments both in my own trading and with the students I have would put me on the "good" list. If they do not, I should be doing something else and not wasting anyones time. Brandon

Time for S.I. to come clean.... This is an open post and challenge to Silicon Investor to disclose whether or not there is any formal or informal arrangement with the founder of the Market Gems thread, or with Pristine, to "protect" that thread from any posts or other threads that might challenge it or question it. From my correspondence with S.I. parties via e-mail and private messages here on S.I., it's becoming apparent to me that this may indeed be the case. Measures that have been taken to keep this thread from as many eyeballs as possible over the past few days, when questioned by me and others, have been met with "that's just the way it is" from parties at SI...without any justification, and in fact contrary to various stated policies to which others are expected to adhere and upon which this website was founded. Does SI receive any sort of payment or compensation from the Market Gems people or from Pristine, above and beyond the "eyeballs" that SI (mistakenly, in my view) feels they bring to this website? I'll continue to try and find out, and I hope others will as well. It has implications beyond the mere satisfaction of curiosity.
