Agree with you about "fringe" threads such as ZONA. Heck, throw in GIFS, SEXI, or SOLV.

Some of my best education about avoiding scam stocks came from reading all the BS..err "knowledge" from those threads. Extra bonus: they really are entertaining&#151like going to the zoo and watching the animals. Maybe we should modify my original proposal&#151here goes:

1. Your a coffee-shop thread = "hands off"

2. You have 10Ks which add up correctly in the mathematical sense, a market cap larger than the GNP of Uzbekistan, and you don't constantly implore people to call in their certs before the evil shorters borrow them ala SEXI, GIFS,&#133 = "strictly policed real stock thread"

3. You actually have a ticker symbol, but the only factual info on your financials is the boilerplate: "&#133audited by the firm of Larry, Curly, and Moe". Although your stock is certain to be the next Intel, any short is a dire threat. You really believe that the exclusive government contract and NASDAQ listing are coming any day now = "SEE NUMBER ONE"
