Anthony, Is this speculation or fact? I have been critical of the whole COB concept for some time. It does seem to be the perfect setup for P&D work, but that doesn't mean that the site is set up for that specifically. An obvious example is the SEVU thread. I created a second SEVU thread a few weeks ago to test if an open forum would be tolerated. iHub had/has a policy that only one thread can exist for a stock. Therefore, my thread was deleted. I found this to be very disturbing. They changed this policy this week for all stocks except OTCBB stocks. I will be suspicious of iHub until this policy is changed. I have the highest faith in Bob's integrity. Bob was busting scams on SI before he was employeed by them. I don't think that he will tolerate for very long, an environment that welcomes scammers.

If i start a thread over there you'd be welcome, long as you didn't post any kiddie porn or try to convert me to some whacko religion ... spammers, well they'd get the big red button toot sweet .... 'personal attacks' and 'off-topic', those would be the difficult categories, very subjective .... i expect i would have a light touch, hopefully no touch at all in respect to them .... i figure if somebody says something that turns out correct, that should remain on their record permanently ... if they say something that turns out incorrect, well then that should remain on their record permanently. Yes, i have trouble with that CoB thing too .... why post at all if there's a chance it will just be deleted ... why lurk a place where you can't see all that's posted, all that's going on ... what's the point ... but if anybody's gonna have the power, it's gonna be me me me ... lol Kid's 18, give him a chance.

Gosh, You're making me think real hard about this! I've known Bob for years and don't think he would involve himself in that kind of operation. So, in an effort to try and balance things, help me out here. On the one hand I have Bob's record here on SI. Now, is it true that you did some jail time? I'm not sure but I thought I heard that somewhere. Again....I'm just kind of trying to weigh out some credibility issues. Thanks in advance for your help! ;-)
