MoneyBaggs, you are altering my words. You said, >>First you state that you bought solely because Macker recommended a stock.<< No, Paul, that is NOT what I said. What I said was: >>I did buy INFE, but that was after Macker told us on the board of a press release that was coming out that day. (I even posted that I had bought - at 4.75/OUCH - and would owe it all to Macker<< Further translation: I did NOT buy on his RECOMMENDATION. I bought because he had been announcing PRs before they came out and I saw that they then DID come out (until the "really" bad guys had no more use for him), so when he said a PR on INFE would be out (I think he said in 15 minutes), I considered what had been happening and did buy. That was one instance, one unique instance, and afterwards, I am aware that had I not lost almost my whole investment in INFE, I would have technically been guilty of insider trading. Like most of us, I didn't think of it at the time. But PLEASE don't imply that I bought stocks on Macker's recommendation. Please don't take my words out of context, as you have a habit of doing. As for this one: >> never said that Macker got his info from the TopDog newsletter. I said he received it directly from the TopDog mouth.<< I don't believe you said he received it from the TopDog mouth. I believe you said he received it from Top Dog. Top Dog is a newsletter. And in the above response you neglected to address the point, which was that Macker was telling US on the board that his info was coming directly from Joe Gort and MTEI. To try to blame it all on Top Dog now seems a less than honorable way to respond to the people he damaged. Please decide. Ask him what you are to say and get it straight. Finally, you write: >>It sounds like the Kool-Aid left a bitter taste in your mouth.<< Yes, Paul. The "Kool-Aid" involved in this scam virtually ruined lives. Fortunately, mine wasn't one of them. But for those who truly drank the kool-aid and are now bankrupt, it left a VERY bad taste in my mouth. That is why I am spending a large amount of time hoping to contribute to an effort that will prevent this from ever happening again. And I have no agenda to plant any false defenses of ANYONE in this. Now PLEASE stop twisting my words. Raven
