NOTICE to Monkeytrots.
Nice try with the "OT" but the content of your reply is NOT Off Topic on this board at all, and you know that full well. Nice try with the virtuous "This reply will be an exception to the 'talk about stocks' rule that I follow on IHUB" and your warnings about RB (surreal!) but that won't fool chcr, Matt, myself, or anyone else who has REALLY been here a long time and believes in what IHUB is all about.
For the record, this reply complements Balance's excellent post #316.
1) You skirted the first and most important question, a question that moderators and ANYBODY HERE HAS THE RIGHT TO ASK IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ERHC BOARD RULES CLEARLY POSTED IN THE IBOX ABOVE. You were not asked how many shares you own (I would never do that on a public board, I agree that it's private info) BUT simply if you own shares. You flat out refused to state that, and you did not even say "well, this is a stock I've been following for a while and I'm seriously interested in investing in it." It's as odd as it is revealing, because you are clearly not an idiot but an educated and quite articulate person. I guess you got a bit careless here...
2) The vast majority of your 18 posts here (all made in the past week, you had NEVER posted before, another red flag...) only refer to possible negatives or twisted-for-the-occasion negatives and more importantly, IMO show the very substance of a "basher-type" agenda. Worse, you did it in a hostile, holier-than-thou way, even making accusations of fraudulent claims toward a well-respected ERHC stockholder. And you expect people to engage you?!
Anyhow, all this begs the questions...
Why on earth would you or anyone spend all this time on this board IF they are not even a shareholder?! And how on earth could I or anyone who has read your posts here possibly believe that your agenda is to share useful DD or "engender HONEST discussion about ERHC"?
Those who read this post and can't do a IHUB search should know that you did EXACTLY the same thing with ADZR between 3/21/2004 and 6/28/2004.
Although right now I do not have near the time I wish I did to deal with my stocks, *I* am the one who has invested a lot of energy in it, *I* am the one who co-runs this board, *YOU* are not. It is chcr's and my responsibility that it doesn't turn into RB-type junk. You state that you find my "reception here to be extremely rude." "extremely" rude? Geez, I'm almost in tears Buddy! Come on, re-read my posts, that is not the case. Believe me, if I wanted to be rude I would use completely different language!
In any case, given the tone and content of your posts and given your prior history, you were asked to come clean. You *almost* did, but at the end of the day you did not. You had a wonderful opportunity to gain credibility and become part of the exchanges of views here, and you blew it. Sad.
You clearly do not comply with one of the very basic requirements for contributions to this board and you are therefore no longer welcome here. You are on notice as of today 12/31/04, 2:52 PM EST. Take whatever agenda you have elsewhere.
