Smart cappysmart!
I pick #1 & 3.
And think your number two is put in between simply to make separation between 3 & 1.
Based on my experience there are a few individuals I have met since being on this Forum who know me due to this Forum. And they have never posted here! But they do follow this forum and their Buddies have been up to all sorts of ethically 'out of bounds' tactics in their Masters attempts to more than influence Forum readers perceptions and potential decisions respecting this Company and anything RoF.
You see, Influence is NOT what they want.
What they want and expect is CONTROL!
And they are having ONE HELL OF A TIME getting their way.
Influence they have achieved, to varing and inconsistent degrees.
BUT the all important (to them) CONTROL continues to remain ELUSIVE.
And for that I congradulate ALL the Posters posting here and those who are able to direct their own course of action independently of this or any other Discussion Forum. Even though some (OK, perhapse many!) current and past (recent and less recent) Forum Posters are/were these Control Seeking Masters agents.
Ever LEERY and a little WEARY, But definitely Contrary to these Characters insincerity!

PS: Onward I go.
