Lethal Gal, thank you so much, counterproductive yes. We are watched and watched by many. The rest of this post is an excerpt from a post this am on the FWR board, a response to the query: essentially this, do we, as posters here on Agoracom have the ability to influence visitors to the site?

Some great points on this guys, we have to remember that George and his team have really ramped up Agoracoms presence over a wide variety of platforms on most financial websites that are worthwhile reads, his web 2.0 theory, successfull Web TV efforts to be quicker, faster, more in your face than ever is undoubtably directing massive amounts of traffic to the Agoracom site, we know that the Not hub has been the leader of hits and views for sometime now and the hits and views received during the Proxy made it quite clear the power of the internet, so really the answer is yes, we have the ability through clear concise well formulated informative postings, posts that can help the curious non ROF investor become a holder of stock of ROF players, the shear amount of help available if one knows to ask is amazing, awhile back after the Proxy battle of NOT the crew on the forum really realized for the first time just how much power we could be wielding and as a result we extended invitiations to visitors, newbies and the seasoned investor to come forward, post and ask questions, told them we can help them with thier DD etc.etc. This was a turning point in Agoracom/Visitor to the site relations, at the time the call was also for less fearmongering etc, more informational DD postings which would be of benefit to the first time viewer rather than have them exposed to a pile of conflict ridden rubbish of which we should be very proud of the fact that we have very little of on any of the ROF boards, this fact is the result of the dynamics of how our rating system allows the seasoned to control trouble makers, this has over the past year and a half really proven its effectivness, my hats off to you all who watch the drawbridge.
