>>Why you think that only those with a financial motive would take time to post on message boards?

In my opinion (which obviously doesn't fit with yours), my time is far too valuable to me to be wasting it on something I won't get a return on. If I have no interest in seeing something go down or up, besides pride, then it's a waste of my time. Maybe you are already financially wealthy and have time for these things. More power to you. I, personally, have just never saw a need to go research something that I didn't have (or could have -- I *wish* I could short OTCBB stocks. I'd be rich beyond my dreams) an interest in, one way or the other.

>>Do you believe that only those who are invested in the stock in question should be allowed to post?

Absolutely not. I'm saying that I rarely/if ever would, though. I was asking the question for my education, not as site policy.

>>Lastly, I hope that you understand that the way the EDIG board is run discourages new members from joining who would like to post an opposite POV. Perhaps iHub already has too many members.

I disagree, as I see members joining to post on that board daily. Free accounts, I grant you, but there are only a dwarf's handful of folks that have paid a premium subcription to post on OTCBB boards.
