Compared to Myron and Riley, the following posts are weak contenders, I admit. But the similarity to the old "To Tell the Truth" TV show is just too funny to pass without comment. Following is a synopsis to save you reading thousands of posts. The company is Firamada. Ira Monas is the President. As with other BB companies, the talk is about the imminent press release with big news, the soon-to-be NASDAQ listing and the any-day-now audited financials. Oh, and of course, several of the posters carry on regular telephone conversations with Ira. A couple of months ago "INTHEFLESH" showed up claiming to be Ira Monas. (And the e-mail link in his profile belongs to Ira, so it must be true. <g>) A couple of days ago, "ira monas" appeared and said he was the real Ira Monas. We only need one more pretender to the throne to appear on the aforementioned game show. Here is a sample from each, but to really enjoy it, read a few of their other posts and the replies that follow. It could take all day, but I hope you get a laugh out of it. And notice how neither one can spell, punctuate or use the shift key correctly. #reply-4080644 #reply-4342022
