If nobody payed any attention to HotCopper, then maybe HotCopper has no reason for existence and we have no reason to follow it.

I for one can say, that the only reason that I found HotCopper in the first place, is that I was that I was searching for information that was lacking in the board's disclosure. If people are turning to HotCopper for information, then they are obviously using it to help formulate their opinions on companies that they are interested in.

Another observation. I don't think that you believe your own propaganda King. You say that HC doesn't sway the market but your actions say that you are very conscientiously trying to use to for exactly that purpose.
