The point I think you gloss over is the apparent fact that Rossi is not deliberately (or overtly) "...acting in a way that suggests investor fraud." Rossi is instead employing passive-tactics indirectly... through his inaction he conveniently allows individuals like you who are predisposed to assume the worst in others to make such assumptions all by yourself. In other words, you are actually helping Rossi's business strategy by your continued actions of casting dispersions of doubt and fraud on Rossi's part. It helps give Rossi a competitive edge against all forms of potential competitors who may read and buy into your incessant insinuations. Keep in mind, in matters of warfare employing deception and disinformation are crucial tactics used in winning wars. Why would you think that running a competitive businesses would be any different? Since I gather you are a skeptic, I would suggest that understanding this alone might be another reason why you might want to consider toning down your campaign against Rossi, because for the moment you are probably helping Rossi's business strategy more than you might realize. You do not appear to know much history, such as in matters of self-serving business deception tactics. Here's additional nefarious information on Toyota's "Deception and evasion" tactics: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36391413/ns/business-autos/t/toyotas-legal-tacti cs-deception-evasion/#.TvTeC2Ffl8E http://tinyurl.com/clu3lb6 .and here's an interesting essay from someone who has pondered the matter of employing tactics of deception as used both in warfare and in business strategies. http://www.2-speed.com/2006/10/applying-military-strategy-and-tactics-to-bus iness-deception/ http://tinyurl.com/57yj6g His last paragraph, I think, bears repeating: > Certainly, deception in the form of outright lying and > cheating is a dead-end strategy.

Quite frankly, Mary, you continue to make incredibly ignorant remarks. It's back to the kill file with you. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
