Another poster : Greg Taylor, VP of Corporate Development for Yamana Resources. I am strongly in favor of Corporate officials posting on SI - IF THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS SUCH. It is a delight to be able to ask questions of and get the thoughts of company insiders. I also don't think there should be restrictions on their postings either (except for the legal one's imposed by the exchanges). Let them hype their company if they wish - it will only hurt their credibility. I think John Menzies and Greg Taylor are forthright and accessible and I'd like to see more examples like this.

Hello Marcos, At the request of several posters of the ACMI thread, Dr. Dana Winrow, Director of Investor Relations of AccuMed International, Inc. has started posting to that thread: Subject 12090 She has fully disclosed herself in her bio. Those of us on that thread view her presence as a testimonial of the desire of the Company to better inform and educate their shareholders. I was pleasantly suprised to learn that the SEC has recognized that the Silicone Investor can be used by a company for the purpose of making an official public disclosure. You couldn't have said it better, SI has become the premier forum for the individual investor on the internet. It was only a matter of time before companies and the SEC would recognize that fact. I bet it won't be long before the VSE comes around to the same conclusion. Personnally, I don't share Jeffery's concern about company officials posting on the regular SI threads. Most of the problems I have seen have come from paid public relation firms who post on SI not company officials. Do you currently have a head count as to how many companies have officials who post to SI? Off Topic: How does one go about getting all those nice links at the top of their thread like NPTH has: Subject 13915 Cisco
