Unfortunately, the SEC allows far too many of these fraudulent operations to print and distribute worthless paper to an unsuspecting public. Many investors actually believe that the SEC has sufficient controls in place to prevent fraudulent operations from going public in the first place. Until preventative measures are put in place, it will continue to grow far beyond the SEC's ability to control it. Ryan

All right everyone! The jig is up! This thread must be an April Fool's joke run wild. Here's the evidence: 1) Last year some of those posting here carried out an elaborate April Fool's joke by setting up FBN, a fake company. Message 4936422 . 2) The group wanted to top that gag this year: "I've been sitting here the past week wondering how are we going to topthis," says Mr. Ulrich, the Web designer. "I don't have any ideas yet, butI'm sure we'll come up with something." techstocks.com 3) Look at the cast of characters and the situation they've come up with: A company that specializes in inevestor relations where the IR person doesn't even know that he has to identify himself in his posts? A company that specializes in investor relations whese IR person thinks he can best manage relations by threatening stockholders and potential investors with libel? A company where the President and CEO tolerate this and don't fire their IR guy and hire someone competent? This is something out of Monty Python, right? Oops! <Doing my best Emilly Littela imitation> NEVERMIND! I checked Yahoo and it is a publicly trading stock. I guess this is real.Sorry to have questioned your existance, Chatty. I just never thought it was possible. I've been spending my spare time over the past few days reading this thread. It is hard to surpass it for entertainment value. It's a real hoot. Robin Messing
