A news agency was not employed last year, but this year it was.
The idea as it's presented here, was that you were going to inclde BW as the butt also.I just don't believe taht. I believe taht BW was used to make the "prank" seem more real.

I was unaware that that the FBN
thread was an educational tool. I
thought it was just the "farm"
taht the "Moron Thread" worked.

What were the lessons that people
learned from it?? That certain SI members
ridiculed them??

Was SI ever one of your clients??
Non Paying or Paying???

A portion of your last message.
"It was set up as an educational tool and April Fool's prank concerning Y2K stocks"

To paraphrase your last message.
"The BW civil suit was set up as an educational tool to stop the fake and fraudulent press releases to the wire services and the public!"
