Or is it to change the way she does business? I think if she wants to use SI to promote her business free of charge there should be certain standards expected of her that are not expected of just regular posters. Although I don't think even SI wants her to use their site to promote her business so this whole discussion may be pointless. For example if a poster has a legitimate question about a stock or the services she is selling they are entitled to a professional and courteous response. Just as any person who calls up a company and asks them a question about their products. I remember one poster who asked Jenna a question about a stock and instead of a public answer she was sent a PM soliciting this poster's business for Jenna's pay website. I consider that very rude and I doubt she is the only one who Jenna has solicited in this way considering her promotional posting style. Her thread is not an extension of herself as a private person but an extension of her business ... at least that's the way she's been playing it. If she wants to post as a private person she has every right to but in that case there would not be so many promotional sounding posts. I don't think she has any intention of posting without the underlying motive of almost every post being that she is looking for new customers for her pay website. As long as that remains the theme of her thread she will have problems ... if not with this group then with another one down the road. Unhappy customers become SI's problem as well as hers. I think it's time that SI evolved into a different type of website ... a site that caters to regular people and respects their wishes ... especially the wish to be left alone by people who want to promote their private websites.

But it is important to remember that there are real people behind some of these commercial ventures. JXM, I respect your opinions, you're one of the few, but I believe that to use the "Jenna is a human being" defense isn't applicable. Let's be candid, Jenna posts what she posts < I won't ever call them trades since they are never real time with entries or exits > as a means of advertising for a commercial venture. If posting were not a means to an end, more subscribers, I doubt she would ever post again. She would simply attend to her commercial venture. As such, I believe her posts should be held up to certain standards of truth in advertising. Further, if using this "human being" defense, one needs to look at how she treats others .... from what I see, it is with disdain and venom .... and I"m not talking Tim, Lisa, et al .... she vilified Kerry which I"m sure you remember. I have asked Jenna on 3 occasions now to substantiate her conflicting posts about INSP trades .... she has never had the courtesy to reply. If she is going to advertise, I believe she should be held accountable for those advertisements. I believe I understand fully why she has never replied. Peace ... JB
