brentjanice re: OT
As you correctly copied/pasted the OT rule as is currently written...
It states "Please refrain from Off-Topic discussions"...etc
I consider the term "Please refrain" to mean just that. It was created to greatly minimize the amount of irrelevant posts and off topic discussions and/or spam from short-term posters.
In 'this' case, it was directly relating to a stock which has been researched and brought to I-Hub by the same board moderator, the company in operation being in the same country of origin as Russia, the company being an IPO the same, the company being set-up and structured the same for privatization partnership with existing Russian entities and being in the same 'energy' sector.
Now and in the future, if anyone else who has been here and has 'supported' NDOL for 'at least' the past 6 months and has a similar-type of stock relating to the circumstances here and would like to bring that 'special circumstance' to our attention...then be my guest.
Otherwise the rule 'will' stand for its intended purposes. Thank you all for the continued NDOL contributions of supportive and informative information...Together we shall be strong! ;)
