As you seem to understand, publicly challenging you would not help their defense in any way and can only help you. Especially now that I'm on my own against some very talented defense lawyers. Yes, I would think they would like this shut down. On the other hand, maybe they hope I'm posting all I know and that will help them just like me seeing and fielding tough questions has helped and is helping me. Like I said, MB Trading's affirmative defenses had all been posted here many times long before the brief was filed Dec. 30, 2002. More than a year before then. As publicly promised, when the verdict comes in, you post right here what case it shall be. Just don't go crazy and say Chateau Latour 1892. Your post tonight about the difference between making recs objectively without a personal financial interest and trading was excellent. We're in agreement. That's what the value of a site should have been.

BTW, you're right about the Effects Doctrine. As law it's not as strong as some would like, which is why it's not likely I'm going to be relying on it anytime soon. As an aside, you said earlier I thought I had legal prowess. Well, without naming names, one of the defense attorneys recently wrote me telling me his opinion that I would not be welcomed in the legal community. Not a very gracious thing to say coming from an accomplished attorney -and certainly not after I actually congratulated him on his successful representation of his client before the Superior Court. (That's right, he had a tough brief and he won. Why not be gracious?) Of course, I wrote back informing him that this opinion wouldn't make or break my plans either way.
