I found this on BOBz. Seems this lentils goof is getting his own medicine from some other scam busters. --------------------------------- Re: The Scam Busters have confirmed that Lentils is the real editor of Data NewsLetter. And his motives were obvious. Scam Buster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are reports on the Burnaby Mountain site on how Lentils has being pulling a big scam for 2 or 3 months or more with his bullshit newsletter. 1. THW used to send out e-mails of their Press releases a few months back to many people that signed up to receive the Press releases. 2. Lentils somehow managed to get his hands on the e-mail list from the blind post from THW. Not certain how, but lentils did get it. 3. THW stopped sending out the e-mails because some supporters complained that their e-mail wound up in the wrong hands somehow. E-mail programs are not foolproof. Blind posts are supposed to be secure with a single post to everyone where the receiver is the only one listed but this sometimes fails and then the whole e-mail list is compromised and can be gained by someone on the e-mail receiving list. 4. It has been confirmed by THW that Lentils had requested to be on the THW Press Release list. Many believe lentils got the blind post list somehow and then used it for his purposes to bash THW. 5. Notice how Lentils was the one that made the big fuss about the Data News newsletter a few months back. In fact, lentils fabricated the newsletter to bash THW. He was the editor and the exposer of his own newsletter, but he kept his editor identity secret. Imagine that. Creates a fictional newsletter, posts about THW and then uses the same newsletter to bash THW. It worked for a while until someone caught onto what lentils was doing. Lentils has and will go to any length to bash THW. And now that he has been exposed once AGAIN as the real editor of Data News, everyone on the Web can make certain to stay away from this most evil of CANCERS. Scam Buster

Sheee-e-e-ooooooo-o-o-ot! I just got back from late supper and guess I missed some excitement today. Osprey is lentils?! . . . what unmitigated drivel! I know Osprey personally although we live many miles apart. I travel to his neck of the woods. I know what kind of businessman he is, what kind of community-minded person he is and that he posts as "Osprey" only. He's helped me learn a lot about the markets. Some people on these threads have entirely too much time on their hands!
