Ellen, to this post and to this #reply-6580432 the most charitable thing I can find to say to you, giving you maximum benefit of doubt, is that if you are, as you say, learning, you are learning quite slowly and without gaining an understanding of the whole picture. This rant because someone didn't instantly jump to your bidding and supply you with an answer you wanted when you wanted it, it just doesn't make sense, imho. We're all individuals, here for the sport of it - nobody takes orders. ....... that being said, I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about there, I assume it's about bnez and I haven't had much time to follow that one. One thing I notice about bnez is a purported email from the prez in which he states that he has no intention of permitting the shareholders to know the number of outstanding shares #reply-6573101 - nor of filing with the SEC, it seems; "It is not illegal to be non-reporting, and non-reporting means, quite simply, that we do not report float, shares outstanding, financial data or anything else cited in your questions." Well, that's a bright red flag, imho. When they refuse to tell you what they're up to, it is a mistake to immediately assume a best-case rosey scenario ..... especially when a lot of stock comes out on each news release, and when the volume figures look lopsided beside the last known figure for shares outstanding. Check back in Elio's posts ... ignore that stuff at your peril. And expect bnez critics to follow the hypeing, like flowers growing in well-manured ground, it is inevitable. They do seem to have a product actually advertised for sale #reply-6579490 There doesn't seem to be any disinterested [i.e. non-shareholder] customer testimonials over there yet though. Credibility for an unrepentant non-reporting bulletin board stock being hyped on the internet is going to be difficult to establish ... it might not be a bad idea to dredge up a few.

As to your accusation of 'harassing' rmilpeople - here's one quite average example; I went over to Elio's thread #Subject-23870 to support him because that laker17 guy was making smart cracks about his English, telling him he sounded like Ricky Ricardo and that he should speak better. After reading a few of Elio's posts it was apparent that he is quite in favor of free and open speech and that the laker character was not. So I spoke up - I like the guy for that, and a little for being a latino. Then al-len came over and launched into a tirade that is now removed. He refused to discuss the stock, all he wanted to do was rag on me. So - who was harassing who? Not that I care, btw. Just observing, that's all ......... cheers
