Unfortunately many of them are unsuspecting people who have no idea of the rules. I didn't know a great deal of them until doing research.

How far can a rule be stretched, twisted, or tied into knots before common sense prevails? Let's look at this situation from a common sense point of view.

Let's say I'm a graphic artist, and I do the van wrap job for WNBD that allows them to advertise their product to the public everywhere they go. I get compensated for the work I have performed, and either before or after doing this work for the company I purchase shares of WNBD. Now according to the belief of many on this board in order for me to post on a message board I must include compensation in the disclosure. That is a complete absurd and mis representation of the SEC rules.

None of the people being dragged through the mud today are employees of WNBD and the situation is no different than the example of the graphic artist. So, in my opinion all of todays post should be considered off topic.
