Thanks for the reply, LongSFMI. I forgot to mention that some of the things that can be verified through known legitimate sources, such as the Sinker Tunnel transaction, also can be used to sort out who is legitimate and who is not. Those posters who insisted that the Sinker Tunnel was not a real deal don't look so good. And I do differentiate between those who engage in legitimate speculation verus those who insist they "know".

I agree that the lack of transparency by SFMI is frustrating, and makes sorting out everything harder than it should be.
