You seem to like her there, you even gave her a fireworks display -g- Watch what happens to the quality of discussion, to see if maybe the general level of usefulness and information gets raised. I don't know the thread, but on the Canadian resource threads I follow, there just seems to be less goofing around, off-topic posts, and irresponsible statements on the threads with direct management input. Nay-sayers don't seem to feel intimidated, but they tend to back up their points more substantially. All in all, imho, there's an air of legitimacy lent, it's as if the teacher walked in the classroom, everybody sits down and stops throwing spitballs, maybe even learns something. Generally. Re the VSE accepting SI as public disclosure; Don't hold your breath. For one thing, they may see it as an American forum. While it is de facto a completely planet-wide phenomenom, de jure it is based in Los Estados Unidos. For another, their Surveillance people clamp down really hard on internet promotion, and may not for some time be able to distinguish the difference between hype-mongering and a company speaking directly in a responsible manner with its shareholders. Re Jeffrey; Yes, it's too bad he hasn't come over here yet. I think what it is is that he hadn't made the distinction between the "Paid Touts and Shills..." and the "Companies Whose Management Post...", one a thing in our opinion to be encouraged, and the other worthy of being run out of town on a rail, to a chorus of hooting and laughter. Or maybe not.... I wish he'd come over here, he's a bright guy. Re head count; No, no count, but I think it's a trend generally, and while companies who post directly are still a small minority, the trend will one of these days snowball and posting to SI could become de rigeur. Maybe. Imho. Re links with thread headers; There's a post somewhere (on the "Welcome to Silicon Investor" thread?) about a reciprocal arrangement between SI and Quote.com, but with that example you give the quotes are Yahoo quotes. Here's what happens when you search for Bema using "bgo"; exchange2000.com ....see the quote.com URL? Yet the Bema thread itself doesn't have the same links. Brad and Jeff are still developing it all the time, though. Good luck with ACMI, Cisco, that's a wicked chart and looks like it deserves a January Effect bounce, or to go titters, whichever is appropriate. I have a medical device stock called Xillix (XLX-TSE) with a similar chart, though not so pronounced. Biotechs have had a bad run lately, but the good ones will come back. I think -g- ......... cheers ................... marcos
