I`ve been trying to follow EDIG via message-boards for a long time -- Silicon Investor, Raging Bull, IHub, here. I have a modest posting history that ought to reflect that I`m not running some kind of game. My preferred interface is IHub, but the discourse over there recently has intrigued me with some pretty serious accusations about this board.

What is the situation over here?

(1) To what extent (if any) are claims of head-in-the-sand censorship justified?

(2) Do claims of pumper chicanery have any basis, with respect to even one poster or former poster?

I will appreciate any observations in response to these questions. If you don`t want to clog the board, please feel free to address me at 24601@ragingbull.com.

Best wishes,

John
