>>Perhaps the most telling observation is that of all the posts I have seen which he has deleted, which granted aren't by any means all but are a substantial sample, I can recall very few which were promoting penny stocks, while I have seen many which were telling honest negative things about stocks. That should have a big "IMO" on it. I get trashed by the pumpers and much as I do the bashers. That's when I know I'm doing my job. What you fail to see is that your penny pumpers tend to get terminated because they come in with some new alias and I just wipe all their posts and don't give them a shot at getting out. The "bashers" are the ones who are more intelligent and I end up suspending them or battling with them, simply because they just barely crossed the line. This is what creates the stir that you see and obviously pulled your sample from. Observation, yes. Correct, no. I don't expect you guys to agree with me. I'm a guy who makes a lot of decisions. I've made enough to know that not everybody is going to agree with me. If the majority of them are the right ones, I'm doing well. Matter of fact, I'd wager there are more deleted posts by pumpers than there are bashers. Simply because of the multiple aliases. Come on guys. I've fought this battle too many times. Since April of 2000, people have told me the site was going to fail, I'd be in Jail, buried in lawsuits, etc. Some of those people have gone to Jail since then, been tied up in lawsuits, and their websites shut down. Who's your daddy?
