I have just got premission to post SI's response to my question for clarification of the 20 per 6 hour limit. Again SI is not the enemy just trying to clean up all the malious intent and posts that have nothing waht so ever to do with anything. Just a waste of database memory.

You Assume or The universe has you at the center of it. I read the threads. Do you think that people reading that thread will believe that you didn't show up at Dog's side. Read the thread again and your posts in the context they were given. I don't require your bio, I just pointed out your comments and their context in the discussion that was occurring. The thread had many readers at the time. I asked you at the time if you read the thread, apparently you don't if you believe your two contributions were just happenstance or that they painted you as a neutral. Anyone who reads your posts and comments regularly has no trouble identifying that you are telling the truth. Anyone who doesn't, has no way of knowing. Maybe you never hype, maybe the whole thing is an exercise in stupidity, like the company. Hyping isn't quantity, that is spamming, ask Dave Gore. I may think your remarks were nothing but blatant hype, with no other purpose than telling the market order story, again, that is for the people who read your posts to decide, not me. Incidentally, what possible reason could anyone for buying this company CYGS, heheheheh, mebbe I won't bookmark you. <g> How much did that cost you so far ? The post we are discussing #reply-5272900
