Matt could have clearly identified the ads in our posts as coming from ihub, which he
originally did, but for some unknown reason changed that. Most of the other sites, if not all, DO
clearly identify the ads' origination. All he has to do is put........ ihub ad: (then the actual ad) in the
post


All he has to do is put them outside the shaded message area. Easy to do. Why he chose to imbed them in messages, when no other site I know of does that, is, IMO, suspicious.












































Disclaimer: Whatever advertisement appears below was not selected or approved by
me, and appears under my name without my permission or authorization. The
advertiser's decision to advertise in this way IMO reflects very poorly on their integrity
and principles, and I, personally, would never do business with such a company. If you
choose to do so, you have my sympathy.



I suggest everybody who objects to advertisements which appear to be posted under their
name include a disclaimer like the one above. If you want to copy mine, feel free. Maybe if
the advertisers realize that they lose credibility with serious investors by these tactics, they will
decide to put their advertising dollars in more appropriate places.

Marty_lewis,

As far as the imbedded charts, pictures, etc etc etc.. I don't like them, and I object to them. I want a choice as to what I view, and I also don't want to take a chance that someone is going to do something "funny" to my computer.

I share your concern on this issue. Then on the other hand, some posters like Vendit post some very good charts that are very informative. It's a shame that abuse by a few makes it difficult for the majority that would not take advantage.
