Barb, That message was addressed to the entire thread. This was not the first time that PLRP has been mentioned on this thread, and if I might add, by many posters. And yes, you are right, Rosie has been the most frequent offender of mentioning other stocks. It would appear that he enjoys rubbing salt in some posters wounds. But Barb, what you don't know is that we on PLRP have suffered posters from PRWT coming onto the thread just to berate Rosie. I don't approve of Rosie, but neither do I approve of this self appointed lynching mob. For you see, Rosie is not the only casualty. What you also may not be aware of we also suffered through two paid promoters touting the stocks without our knowledge until after the SEC crackdown. The stock is currently down 90% from where I first bought in... thanks to the PR guys dumping their shares AND some crummy financing deal which landed us with debentures. But, guess what, we're all grown adults over there, and have dealt with this fact and go on with life. We never ranted and raved and pointed fingers, well, we had one exception. So, you see.... I might be a bit sensitive about people on this thread haphazardly throwing PLRP into the dung heap pile just because Rosie buys the stock AFTER all of these incidences come into play. And guess what, I don't harbor Rosie any ill will for having done so. Because, that's the name of the game. And why have I publicly addressed this post to you? Because I'm hoping that you're adult enough to see that this type of posting goes no where and accomplishes nothing. I've had this and similar chats with Rosie, too. There have been a number of times that Rosie has been reasonable and toned down, but he starts back up after so many continue to "attack" him. It's sad that even when he's not on the thread the topic of choice is Rosie, and not PRWT. And well..... while I'm at it... let me add that I have suffered through some most horrid PM's because I respond to Rosie in a professional manner on the public thread. I have been accused of all sorts of things by a few posters because I don't pitch a public tantrum. I should be blasted because I keep my personal feelings about another poster off the public threads? ...oh, well
