Re your note to Henry Niman:
" Can't you post one single message w/o spamming us?
henry, do us all a favor and buy a banner ad from SI, you've gotten enough advertising for free to last 'till the end of the year.

You sir, are an example of what's wrong with the internet. "

I like Henry's posts, and I don't mind if he does a little selfpromotion while pointing out and catalogueing the important stories. His attention to biotech developments helped me to understand AIDS drugs and make a lot of money (well, a lot for me, that is) in investing in that sector. Much worse then his semispamming is the porno and pyramid schemes and work from home cr*p I get in my AOL mailbox every day, not to mention the childish yawping that comprises 80% of the company message boards on Yahoo.

I don't think you should take his investment advice, though.

IMHO

I guess some prefer to cyberstalk and see how many aliases they can use to spread nonsense, while others prefer to read real data.

There's room for both on the Internet, but those trying to control others with absurd posts are rather annoying, especially when they are obsessed with certain posters which they broadcast on their "home page":
