ok, last one...the article:

Note the date: October 26, 1998. Get it? she has been around way before you just happened to fall on the "basher confession"...lol

To fill this void, cybervigilantes--ordinary online investors who have taken to policing their territory themselves--have sprung up all over the Web. They are relentless about exposing cyberscamsters, or anyone operating online who appears the least bit dubious. On Silicon Investor (www.techstocks.com), there is now a "thread" entirely dedicated to "Stocks That Should Be Investigated by the SEC." Other sites go after individuals--suspected con men. Still others warn investors of questionable Internet stock tip sheets.

The unofficial queen of the cybervigilantes is Janice Shell, a 50-year-old art historian who lives in Milan and got hooked on busting online con men after she was burned in an Internet investment scheme two years ago. A tireless--even obsessive--pursuer of online malefactors, Shell says she spends 12 hours a day trolling the Internet, looking for crooks. Thanks to this single-minded dedication, she has become a celebrity--at least to those who hang out on Silicon Investor. There are two threads devoted just to her: "Janice Shell for President" and "Janice Shell--A Retrospective."

In the past two years, Shell says she has exposed an investor relations director with a murder rap, a so-called biotech company that really sold kitty litter, and a CEO who claimed to have run the largest corporation in Nevada but who was really the head of a two-man air-conditioning repair shop. "God help us if [Shell] ever goes to work for the hypester pump-and-dump gang," one admirer gushed in an August posting. "Being an international sex symbol is hard work, but someone has to do it."




Is this a good Stock?
Anything I say in the post above is my OPINION only. (Ne buvez pas l'kool-aide.)...and don't be a MARKEY.
