Bob, how am I supposed to know your income? Beats me. You're the one saying iHub makes its money by purposely favoring touts for the hits they generate, and I'm wanting you to even just venture a guess as to how much money that is, and ask yourself if it makes any sense at all that I'd do something like that for the amount of money you think is involved. So, if the site is making 10 cents per day from advertising, would it make sense, based on my history (which you know nothing of, newbie), for me to be running a site with the whole purpose being "Let's get all the touts we can over here so we'll make money off the hits they generate."? I'm afraid you're once again spouting off about that which you don't understand, and not surprisingly spouting off as fact things you don't know to be facts. And each time you're called on it, you just squirm into another position. Now it's "If you hate scams, why're you even running a message board?" Ask yourself, honey, how these scams get exposed. On message boards. But to know the answer to the question about why I'm running a message board, you'd actually have to know things about me; not just the stuff you make up as you go along. I've lived, eaten, and breathed message boards for 15 years. Should I not do so now because some little girl says "There are enough message boards and if you start another one you're an evil SOB"? I think not. I'd no sooner tell you that there are already too many women around who have an unseemly amount of vanity and it's disgusting to see another "I'm so gosh-darned cute" one putting up pictures of herself all over her profile. Showing off how physically pretty she is, acting like she wants deferential treatment, then whining because the boys won't treat her as just another one of the boys. But I wouldn't do that. Want to be treated like one of the boys? Quit acting like a mean-spirited, emotional, ditzy chick. You embarass me as a skeptical critical thinker who is involved in the stock market. It's very annoying and embarassing that you try to represent yourself as one.
