Not at all Russell. I'm not that naive. We've got an endless stream of garbage of our own, it's just of a different variety. Speaking very generally, American's will suffer corruption, but if there is one thing they can't tolerate it's incompetence. Especially when monetary transactions are involved. These nitwits wouldn't be allowed to operate down here for a minute. Imagine the whole damn stock exchange going down because of excessive trading in one lousy stock, Bre-x!! Wall Street would descend upon Washington like a howling pack of ravenous wolves!! You would see the Earth moved, my friend. Heads would roll!! We take our right to free speech very seriously too, Russell. Those bloody dogs at the TSE are welcome to take me on before a jury of my peers. Bring it on!! I'll rip their bloody nuts off!! I think it's an outrage that more people haven't spoken out on this issue. Remember, one man is a tyrant because a thousand men are slaves! You need to get that lousy libel law of yours changed up there. I think it goes back to the Brits and a bunch of petty perfumed aristocrats who wanted to make sure they kept the peons in their place. To be put upon penalty of proving your innocence is absurd. Tom

Russ and Tom - it's not about nationalities, imho. It's not about the relative merits of stock exchanges, either. It's about the underhanded legal threat against a respected SI poster by a pompous bureaucrat who lacks the guts to reply to Porter on this forum, but who has a sizeable legal budget, and in a fit of cowardice has chosen to use it in one last suicidal offensive. I've had TSE stocks for thirty years. I am an SIer. I consider that for either of those qualifications I have a right to speak on this question. And by the Lord Harry, I'll be damned if they can shut me up.
