Richard: This time he showed up on his own accord. I'm sure EC found out about this "case" the same way I did, by an e-mail from Bernie Lumbar. By bringing this bs up, it proves to me that Chatterbox is just trying to scare people into selling. The matter at hand is the independent verification. If the independent verification proves IPM correct, Lumbar's case gets thrown out of court and I wouldn't be surprised to see Lumbar and EC get slapped with slander suits. If the independent verification shows IPM to be lying, we are screwed long before Lumbar's case comes to court. In fact, we would probably all want to join Lumbar's class (not that it would do us any good). If this case ever goes to trial, I will personally kiss EC's butt.

Honest, I TRIED not to. It's my first and only slip. I'll never do it again. Mea culpa. You are absolutely right. Somewhat off-topic, or at least slaunch-wise: A short seller from Philadelphia, an Islamic lawyer and an accountant from India are travelling together (sure) when the car runs out of gas. They have to stay overnight at a farm. The farmer is happy to put them up, but he only has two beds available. One will have to sleep in the barn. The Islamic lawyer, a fine fellow, says, "It will be my honor to make sure that my companions are comfortable. I will sleep in the barn." They retire, but 10 minutes later there is a knock at the door. It is the lawyer, who explains, "I'm sorry, but I did not know you kept pigs in the barn. In my culture, they are regarded as loathesome, and I am afraid I cannot sleep in the barn. I apologize." The Indian accountant volunteers to sleep in the barn. They retire, but 10 minutes later there is a knock at the door. It is the accountant, who explains, "I'm sorry, but I didn't know there were cows in the barn. I am a Hindu, and I must not do anything that might harm them. If I rolled over in my sleep, I might injure one of the calves! I fear that I cannot sleep in the barn." The Philadelphia short-seller finally goes to the barn. They retire. 10 minutes later there is a knock at the door. It is the pig and the cow. Best, Ed
