Positive suff is NOT OK since it might influence someone to buy and drive pps up. Who woulda thunk it?

No, "false" positive stuff is not OK because it might cause someone to buy on "misinformation".

However, as I stated in an earlier post, I believe most here are big boys and girls and can figure out who is slinging it.

After the nightmare I've/we've been through over the past few years with this stock, I would feel a lot worse about someone buying this stock on misinformation than I would for someone who was chased away by a basher. This is why I don't like pumping. The bafoon ANLYST on RB probably caused a lot more investors to lose money than the resident basher.

Also, as I stated before, I don't believe the cause of the SP jump on the 17th was caused by pumping - I believe it was caused by the news from the USPTO and justifiably so.
