Jim, I think we have a fundamentally different view about this. I re-post news items frequently, and I never editorialize about them in the same post. At the time that news came to my attention, the stock had already been hammered by VVUS's bad news, so this provided some explanation to me about why VVUS shares had been slow to recover and may continue to be slow to recover. It's not my style to editorialize in the same post in which I provide a news item. I would find the comments you suggest to be inconsistent with giving the news. Discussion about the news occurs after the news is read. I don't believe that it "legitimizes" the content of any news item to share it with a thread, the members of which who own a stock effected by that news item. I'm sure many of us disagree with or unhappy with the content of a lot of news but I think most of us still want to see it in its unadulterated, uncommented, form. I'm just the messenger and already practically dead. So don't kill me! Linda
