"So does your explanation mean that the term "crash and bash" is approved for use on ihub as long as it doesn't refer to other posters?"
Well, as soon as that's used in a SEC filing/discussion then we can review that term then.
"As for the other despicable posts I mentioned, I'm afraid I would just hear the "too much time has passed" reason if I spent the time to track them down."
Yeah, don't waste time in trying to find posts years old. We deal with posts and review the ones made in the last 48 hours.
