Re: Ignore Person button. I'm wondering if there's any way to make a 'Zap Person' button. Nothing lethal, just deliver a mild electric shock to let the poster know he/she is alive. I've heard that Brad is a real good programmer. Maybe this would be a good challenge for him. ~Mitch

Jeff, I think your idea of a moderated thread that is maintained by an IR rep from the company makes sense. The company would have both the means and the interest in making sure information is accurate. Readers would be aware that it is a "company maintained" thread and the biases that might engender. Plus it's hard to imagine that a "Joe Silicon Investor Subscriber" would have the time or resources to do a credible job maintaining and moderating a thread. Most of us have a hard enough time just reading the more active threads without the added burden of moderating.
