Violators should beware." You have made some very strong statements, however also failed to offer supporting documentation. Wouldn't you agree that much of what you have stated can be a result of your opinion? Possibly your perception of various posts? I know, perception can be everything today. I wonder what some thought of this:"Hi Rose, it's been awhile..... I usually don't get involved in these chat lines but I was quite surprised to see you still insisting that you were never our investor relations person "(no, don't count me as one!!!!!!). In fact I have collected all your invoices to Mink( from May 16, 1995 to Jan 16, 1996 when your services were terminated). The invoices state: "Investor Relations and Consulting". Were we possibly mistaken as to what your services were?" Some reasonable people could misconstrue the above, based only on their perception. Yes? #reply-2400934 Then again, some could really get their panties in a knot over this:"Enjoy and if you haven't bought all you want yet, you may want to consider doing so after reading this page and considering why I believe 110% that there is GOLD IN BUSANG!!!!" #reply-1318928 Now that little bit of, shall we say enthusiasm, was on May 2, 1997. Encouraging others to buy? Please correct me if I'm wrong, as advanced age has affected my memory, but as I recall, the major collapse in BRE-X stock price had taken place. Again, forgive me if memory fails, but I seem to recall you stating that you made a profit on this stock, in fact you sold at much higher prices than those of May 2? What would a reasonable person think? Really Rose, someone with your knowledge and market savvy, never bought in again when you were 110% sure? Perception? You ask Marcos:"List ALL the Canadian stocks mentioned by thread participants, either here or on P&BMI thread and who wrote about them, pro or con?" Would you consider all of your posts, whether MINK or BRE-X, to be exempt from the standards that you are trying to apply here? I leave you with your own words to ponder:"Pump and dump operations have "fingerprints"i.e., patterns of behavior, seldom employed by one individual but usually in concert with MULTIPLE participants. " There were many participants on the BRE-X thread. Yes? Perception?
