Phoenix, one thing has nothing to do with the other. Your post is remote speculation - unjustifiable to publish without strong concrete facts to back it up. If there isn't a real solid probability that it's true, it shouldn't be posted in a public forum. It is a method of character assasination that was part of the negative chemistry at RS and often instigated by our subject himself. So let's keep it out of the mix as we attempt to rise from the rubble. Doesn't make sense either since as others have correctly observed, Lakers has been posting the same way since Day 1 - long before he knew how to spell "HTML". It is likely that his long term motivation with his tour/web ventures is profit - that I don't dispute, but he's entitled to pursue whatever business he wants to (it also has to be said that the practice of continually hyping it on the board makes it fair game for comment and criticism). Anyhow, whatever his transgressions, the suggestion that the guy's been blowing up message boards so as to leave himself in a monopolistic position leaks way more logic than it holds. Lakers wasn't shrewd enough to develop such a long term scheme when he commenced his assaultive posting on TJ boards a few years ago, and he's not stupid enough to think that he could achieve such an outcome.
