And what exactly is the point of all the name-calling and taunting? I can't tell you the point, but I can show you the origin. On about May 22 Greg posted something to the effect of, wouldn't it be great if everyone clogged the phone lines of some certain brokerage that was selling the stock short. Fortunately, or unfortunately, that post (the then #255) was removed by SI, the reason was obvious. I don't know anyone who got a copy for their files other than SI, the post stayed on the thread for only about 15 hours. I chastised Greg for posting such a thing. He then posted a reply to me which was character assignation of the worst kind. At about that time Auric was perceived to be a short seller and Greg attacked him. So, the fight was on. Like most schoolyard fights the observers begin to line up behind the participants to take sides. The same happened here, except Greg had no support. So, he went out and got some. By May 31 all sorts of vile, vulgar personalities began to appear: LIQPLUMER was the first. Then came Arcticlight, Batman and david travis. They all attacked in a most hateful manner and one by one eventually fell before the Terms of Use. For awhile I thought they were all the same person, Greg, but I now think it was a bunch of his cronies with $125 to burn.

Barry: And what exactly is the point of all the name-calling and taunting? It is unfortunate. However, if you look at who cast the first stone then start asking questions, I believe that the conclusion you will come to is that the point is to drown out a factual discussion of the engine, and the underlying basis for the stock price. For example, go back and re-read the opening to this thread. Our sponsor Greg said there were US patents issued. Well we now know that is false. (No US patents have been issued and there is only one existing Australian patent which apparently has been accepted in a number of other countries). Yet here, exchange2000.com greg said ...If my information is inaccurate, the moment I find out, I'll publicly post that it's wrong. No retraction or amendment to the thread byline has been made. Since Greg seems to have a direct pipeline into the company, either someone lied to him, or he lied to the thread. (IMO) I can think of no other possibility since he has not seen fit to honor his promise of above. Reconstruct the scenario. I did an initial effort here: exchange2000.com Greg responded here: exchange2000.com Draw your own conclusions. ww
