RE: maplakWhy, why do you guys and gals continue to respond to people that over time becomes very clear as to their reasons for posting. Responding to legitimate posters with negative comments on the performance of the company is very much warranted and healthy in keeping things in perspective, but responding to paid bashers only perpetuates the business that they are part of. Their only aim is to make money be it shorting or whatever by creating unsubstantiated doubt in the minds of retail shareholders. Just put these folks on ignore and their business will collapse. If we can diminish their presence on these boards, we would all be much better off, reading and exchanging more intelligent postings if nothing else.
