Now AOL is the Evil Empire. LOL! It makes me laugh when bears say that AOL is using old, out-dated BBS technology. I guess these Sun Enterprise 6000 servers are useless pieces of crap, that cost over $150k a piece! And shame on them for using Cisco routers, just like the old BBS did. Yeah right. Proxy this, proxy that. Just hit reload. Where is Vader when you need him? S.

Hi WS; Thanx, but I should have figured this out a year ago, befrore so many of my puts got sent to heaven. I did trade a ton of options on this scam. Know one is a scam and will sooner or later tople is no good if the premiums on the options are high enough to pick your pocktets while you wait for reality to arrive. And with artistic promoters scams can run longer than most of us think possable, much longer. I droped to short term options for a while and inched my way out of some losses, but it was a slow go, took serious time.. and made the bookies more % than I was making. A lot of tit for tat, while I got a little more of the tit than the tat, the spread and commisions put much more in their poctects than in mine, and I conculded it would take years to re-cover at the rate I was pecking at her. So I gave it up..was not long ago I looked again from the distance, and it came to me how they were working the scam, and when it "might" be a good time to get in a lick. How Dis..relates seems like a long strech of ones imagination..and it may not prove to be true..but has some good odds going for it. Jim
