Someone asked me about a couple of posts I made to the Kidney man...one thing lead to another and this evolved...Look at the bottom..we've got everyone involved. To: K44B who wrote () 6/2/1999 7:00:00 PM From: K44B Read Replies (20) of 564 Due to severe financial stress I have decided to sell one of my two healthy Kidneys. Can anyone advise on how and where to go about this? ************************************** Note from Silicon Investor Management: ************************************** We would like to state that we, like most people on the thread, assumed this thread was created as a joke. Everyone knows that under the Terms of Use, solicitation is not allowed on SI. And selling a body part? Double whammo! We are all here shaking our heads in disbelief after receiving information that this person may be serious. This user's membership has been terminated, as we cannot allow such a pursuit to take place on SI. We have decided to leave the thread up as testimony to what constitutes a terminable membership offense on SI, even in the Coffee Shop area. We, in no way, support the material contained herein.

A borderline extortionist is still a member but ViperChick is not??? I wonder if it would be acceptable to SI to try to extort money for a kidney? They allow solicitation even though Bob claims it is against the Terms of Use. They allow "borderline" extortion and you would think that would be against the Terms of Use. I guess they draw the line when it involves a body part. I confess I would like to see the answer to her question "What did I do that other people who are still members have not done... OR WORSE? " To: Tim Luke (7866 ) From: Brad Dryer Friday, Jan 15 1999 6:19PM ET Reply # of 49173 Tim, Over the last few days, you've given us ultimatums, vowed to leave SI, solicited others to fill up my inbox with support for your credibility, published a private message from me out of context, and made comments bordering on extortion. Yet, to my knowledge, no one from SI has threatened or even implied that we were going to "shut you down." Brad
