well, it depends. Sometimes moderators of one of their boards will delete posts with wild abandon (speaking from the experience of having all my posts deleted when I called an obvious basher on mis-statements) and then some boards let people post the names of other stocks. No consistency.

I think what triggered the events you are referring to though is that someone posted a stock that I own and whose product, Anatabloc, has made a real difference for me and for my friends -- it seemed like someone was pumping that stock, and it made people mad.

Just for the record, Anatabloc is a nutraceutical that has dramatic anti-inflammatory properties, is having 9 studies on it running at Johns Hopkins, and more at the Roskamp Institute. Anyone with inflammatory disease or arthritis or anything like that, ought to check it out. There is a wealth of information over there that I haven't gotten around to posting on our STSI board here, although I will do so this weekend.

Since I now have turned into a pumper for the PRODUCT, I will also mention that Anatabloc has had some successful preliminary tests on head injuries (it's brain inflammation after head injuries that causes some of the damages) and looks promising for Alzheimer's which is now being recognized as an inflammatory disease.

End pump.
