Dear Richard Thank you for your call today. In the conversation you indicated that you would be removing my post regarding Clive Roffey and his intention to take legal action against me. You indicated that the reason for such action was that the forum was not intended for issues such as this. While I take your stated reason at face value I am also aware that Clive Roffey has been threatening legal action against absolutely anyone that has anything to do with this matter including my colleagues and fellow shareholders in the company I work for and that you may be bowing down to this pressure. While I recognise that my comments may at times be somewhat inflammatory and off the topic it is my strong belief that the interests of your customers are not served by removing a post, which in your judgment, the content of constitutes something other than what the forum was intended for. I strongly urge you to reconsider censorship of this kind. As I indicated to you I personally know of people that have lost large sums of money because of Clive Roffey's repeated recommendation to invest in shares despite his call clearly being wrong. Clive doggedly persisted in recommending a buy on certain counters and sectors when clearly the prudent thing to do would at the very very least to warn investors to proceed with caution - to , as one example, tell non professional investors like myself to buy a share like DRD or even SSFS on the share and then go away on holiday over Xmas and forget about it is not responsible advice. As I see it one of the vital functions the forum plays is to enable participants to find out where they can obtain reliable advice. When "analysts" such as Clive Roffey have it as their agenda to sell their recommendations it is doubly important that forum participants are able to enter into an open honest dialogue as to the quality of the information and analysis provided by such an analysts. If people have lost large amounts of money - in some of the cases reported to me much as 50% of their capital - on the advice of an analyst this is absolutely invaluable information to any investor or trader as it serves as a reminder that we cannot and should not act merely on the advice of an analyst no matter how many times he repeats the recommendation or how many times he gives assurances he gives that he is right. I further think that it is vital, let me stress this even more strongly, absolutely critical that your customers be informed that anyone who claims that they get 80% of calls right are creating a false impression regarding the reliability with which they or anyone can predict market movements. Members of the forum need to know that unless such claims are substantiated and proven they cannot be accepted as the truth. You would be failing in your duty as providers of on an environment in which information can be trusted and which promotes understanding of nature of markets not to point this out and encourage debate on this issue. If you chose to remove my posts and censor what I have to say about Clive Roffey's analysis, provided it does not break the law or is not of a personal nature I will cease to participate in the forum as I believe the value of the forum as an open exchange of views will be damaged. We are not "all just chat room gossips" as Roffey likes to portray us. Many are really passionate about what we do and value the forum for the valuable information exchanged as well as the diversity of opinion and views expressed. I look forward to your reply.
