While I was researching *why* New York Brad was "forced to resign", since no one here seems to want to state that Daniel Brandt revealed his real name and the law firm for which he works ---- I found this interesting article. _ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/12/06/wikipedia_and_overstock/page3.html_ ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/12/06/wikipedia_and_overstock/page3.html ) While gives a big overview of the whole Overstock.com issue and related topics. I still have no *clear* idea of what naked short selling actually is.... but wow what a lot of new topics to research! Even ED doesn't really go into the whole thing in a way that makes the issues clear. They really need to hire a new writer, and the folks at WR respond in one or two short sentences to a whole lot of underlying detail. Like that one guy said "I see the crumbs, wheres the loaf of bread" in the whole Alison-Amorrow "he's editing from where I work" fiasco. I'm rambling. It's just much easier when you edit from your own name, and have nothing to hide. Linda Mack? MI5 ? Google-Watch? What happened to the Daniel Brandt article? Is he not notable? Will Johnson **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.
