Here's a potential nomination: This guy says he has a portfolio of 41 NYSE/NASDAQ stocks, as well as 14 BB stocks, but he only seems to post in a few BB threads, and there is sometimes a certain, sameness to his postings. From the FNTN thread: Message 5161778 And from the AMBI thread: Message 5161824 And from the ECSI thread: Message 5161897 And from another FNTN thread: Message 5161951 And just in case you missed it from the PONY thread: Message 5161990 BRAINLESS SPAM... SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM ... But in this post, he does offer some insight into "bashers": Message 5166107 Here are a couple of quotes: When someone new jumps into a thread such as FNTN and starts to post questions that have been answered several times previously and are told that or referred to the posts themselves and become indigent the current members don't enjoy that. Indigent? Maybe he meant indignant, or perhaps incontinent? When postings are always of a negative nature many of the regular investors using the thread wonder why that person is even involved on the thread in the first if they don't like the stock at all. Those kinds of posts are hard to accept by most. It is when those who because of their personal agendas, start to disrupt a thread and the more reserved poster thus allowing them to be sucked in, then a thread is reduced to free for all. Leaving most of the upbeat and positive investors in complete awe as to what happened to the thread. Anyone second my nomination? Regards, John Sladek
