Please adopt the rule changes advocated by Pink Sheets. The illegal touting of stocks via spam on the internet is out of control. Additionally, to verify the criminal nature of these violators; note that they commonly hijack domains so they can send out their spam anonymously. I have personally called companies directly who have this illegal touting of their stock via spam and they are also frustrated that this is going on without their approval. This is a problem that is out of control. By not taking action there is the suggestion of a wink and nod complicit allowance of this practice, which for the sake of the SEC and this country I hope is not the case.
