Not sure who removed the post or why. I guess I am in good company with you Puffer (STJ?)!

I thought I've seen before that authors can request Seeking Alpha to remove "questionable" comments. However, it is not explicitly stated that authors can remove comments from articles:

http://seekingalpha.com/page/comment_guidelines

Here is some more about why comments may be removed:

http://seekingalpha.com/page/dispute_an_article

"As per our Terms of Use, Instablogs, StockTalks and Comments will be removed only if the content violates one of the following conditions, as determined by Seeking Alpha, at our discretion:

No incitement to hatred. Material that promotes hatred toward groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation/gender identity will be removed.
No pornography or pedophelia
No direct or implied threats of violence
No copyright violations
No publication of private information without the permission of its owner
No illegal use of your account for dangerous or illegal purposes.
No spam or 'link spamming'"

Maybe it didn't like my link for some reason?

I thought it highly relevant as another example (like the current hit piece) of a fradulent short attack, since the article was wrong about some facts (in my opinion), with a clear motive to profit off of negative spin and distortions.
