You finally achieved what you never accomplished while you were alive...you're right about something. I apologize.

I thought about what you were saying that it would be impossible for real people to post in alphabetical order. I started to think you were right, so I consulted our old friend from Brooklyn who's now a big shot(or thinks he is) and got what we used to call an opinion letter but is now an email because nobody sends snail mail anymore.

Best of all, it was free because he said he was short. I reminded him he was always short and he said "That's true. That's a very good point."

Here's the excerpt, as well as a portion of the email:

Very briefly, I'm bearish on USANA, a sketchy multi-level marketer of vitamins and supplements which is a pyramid scheme founded by Myron Wentz who renounced his US citizenship for tax purposes. USANA is headquartered in Salt Lake City.

I and others cannot exchange views on the USNA Yahoo! Finance Message Board for USNA because USANA runs an automated program which recycles old threads taken from the USANA website www.usana.com day and night 24/7/365 except for computer breakdowns, in which case USANA Associates post one after the other to smother any discussion under an avalanche of automated posts. Any critical views are quickly deleted by a sufficient number of abuse reports to trigger Yahoo! automated response to delete the post.

I do not see how this can be lawful unless I have no right to participate in a public forum because it is "owned" by Yahoo! or I am not allowed to express my critical views because I'm long puts(like being short) which I've always disclosed on the message board.

I am not aware of any other public company in the world that engages in this behavior.

So you must be right because he said so, and that's good enough for me.

Don't get a big head. Even a drunken squirrel occasionally finds an acorn.
