Hotrod: Virtually everyone here uses an alias, including you!!!
Are you saying that your real name is Hotrodhans?
Is DABOSS (in all caps) his real name? Are the people who use the IDs like Tinroad, GoSilver, sunpoop, Gilgamash, LawyerLong, Philozartin, Tenderloin, TWOMIL, judodog, drhunt, chwderhd, EDIGlong, 50+, gernb1, ucansee, Trenddector, Chessplayer, secforu, sinkman, CAL_LAW, milpease, haiyaku, DARWOOD, lickily, 1eyejack, phoenix7, BMPSKR, sunsetstrip, DaiLin, moxa1, sricket, Sentinel, arkieboy1, Nobucks1, D.inkie, acrazjo, Sosoomee, Med.rare, culater33, CES2002, stone-mason, 9miles, chipperca, chiselweed, edigroxx, IDIGEDIG, secforu, Giants, redwing99, rollingrock, 24601, Duke of Prunes, IAMDUE, gawdsmajudgel, straight_talk2, mallride, bobushka, smashyourtv, jimc1997, twoducksrunning, simbirsk, deBeer, billwilke, NEWeLONG, sinacull, lardog, venieris, etc. using their real names?
Obviously not, so why do single me out for using an alias as an ID when you and virtually all of the other posters do the same??? In fact, some of these people (like D.inkie) admit to having many aliased uses simultaneously.
Unless you real name is Hotrodhans or even Hans, it would seem that you have no reason to denigrate someone else who does not reveal their true identity with their online ID.
This is such a ridiculous accusation that I can't believe that others haven't challenged you on it.
As far as reporting issues to the SEC, I have done so several times and included my full name, address, telephone number and message board ID.
Lastly, the message boards on CNBC were no more a scam than RB, iHub, SI, Yahoo! or Agora. Message boards are message boards and that's the one I posted on. They hype there was far less out of control than it was on RB. Poor Over74 and TellurideKid were the main hypesters. We actually had the most balanced board I've ever seen since investing in EDIG.
