pk- You're all over the place here. There are meds and neurofeedback techniques that can help with your ADD, you know. LOL!

Seriously, Gabe (may I call you 'Gabe'?), you've reposted a score of SHO comments, provided some useful links for detecting and reporting fraud, touched on PIPE funding, posted some links related to freedom of speech and SLAPP, and vented your spleen at Hartley B.; but not a word about SEC Surveillance.

I read "your" 12/23 press releases in (ahem) shock and awe. The first ( http://snipurl.com/3jdp ) claims that various agencies of the government are snooping on us here on the message boards. The followup release ( http://snipurl.com/3jib ) seems to be shopping for plaintiffs to file an unprecedented class action against 'bashers' on the message boards.

Can you please pull all of this together in a cogent post or two? These questions come immediately to mind...

What evidence or even anecdotal information do you have to support the surveillance claims? There have been many times I have wanted the authorities to be watching closely in the hope that they could nail some fraudster, but alas the crooks seemed to get away.

How are you going to sue message board posters without infringing on their right to express their opinions?

Wouldn't the natural result of these efforts be a decline in message board participation as individuals come to fear either unauthorized surveillance and/or getting caught up in unwarranted litigation?
