I don't know what your point is. Because that piece was paid for, does not mean it was paid for, directly or indirectly, by LBSR. In fact, I'm very positive it was not.
Listen, a lot of well regarded newsletter writers send out freebies to get new subscribers. Sometimes, too, the distribution of those write-ups are paid by the companies featured. One has to have been around this business for a while to know when such comes from someone with a good reputation.
Newbies among these types of writers pop up regularly, because the money behind them are quite often pumpers and dumpers who have to move on to new names (which I think they rotate amongst themselves) as there can be no sustained, successful track record attached to these people.
Sometimes, by chance, the stocks these types of promoters feature do succeed. Mostly they do not. That something like this came up for Liberty Star SEVEN YEARS AGO, by a then unknown author does not, in my opinion, cast much of a sense of trust in the story. Only further DD will show much of the facts to be correct, so why start there, especially when the writer has been shown to be a crook.
Anyway, and for those who still think that that tout should be in our stickies, here's some quick DD on the guy who wrote it.
