Lola, I don't think that jenna would count me as one of her supporters. And I certainly agree with you about the way that business should be done. But she is a human being, and it is disengenious to not expect her to react to a constant barrage with some negativity. What is the purpose of continuing the attack? Is there some incremental discrediting that is being done? I don't think so. Is the point to make her geek and throw Market Gems away? Or is it to change the way she does business? Bulletin boards are normally used by everyday people who want to share their ideas and generally do not like people trying to sell them something while they are trying to communicate amongst themselves. Stock message boards on the other hand, have a long way to evolve before they can be really useful for most regular people. I have always considered the commercial ventures who are present on SI to be "poaching". Shooting fish in the barrel so to speak. If you know some of my history, I have been critical from the start. But it is important to remember that there are real people behind some of these commercial ventures.
