On April 25th, Alstry and The Institute of Alstrynomics developed the most important the most important techno trance spector vector development to date...as many of you know....it is the ZOMBULATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't know what it is.....The Institute and Alstry strongly suggest you read the following:

However, a few days ago, the New York Times in its infinite wisdom referenced the Zombulator in Bill Safire's Column:
“The Zombulator will continue to wreak havoc,” opined a worried Web site named the Motley Fool a couple of weeks ago, “as long as we pursue a Zombie Bank policy. ” A few months before, a group of anxious academics wrote in The Irish Times that “Irish banks must be recapitalized if Ireland is to avoid a Japan-style prolonged recession, retarded by zombie banks.” And Mark Gilbert, a Bloomberg News columnist who thinks that “the zombie banks are demanding to be let back into the financial mall so they can pillage the global markets anew,” headlined his somewhat alarmist view: “Fresh Flesh Runs Screaming as Zombie Banks Drool.”....
Ten days ago, 19 large United States banks bolstered by huge federal infusions reported on the varying results of the stress tests given by the government lender-investor-bailouter (the Zombulator?) to see how they could stand up to recession pressures. Stress test, an 1890s engineering term, began in the 1960s to be used to describe an electrocardiogram of the heart taken during exercise. Sheidlower dug up a stunning early application of the way it is used today: “The American dollar and the world’s confidence in the American economic system were being subjected to severe stress tests.” The reporter: David S. Broder. The year: 1978.

But if you notice....there was NO CREDIT for the Zombulator given to Alstry or The Institute of Alstrynomics for its most important development to date....Motley Fool got all the credit!!!!
Does Alstry mind that Motley is getting credit for his work in the NYT????....not really. Alstry likes to help out when he can. However, since Motley Fool is often fond of suspending Alstry for being UNCIVIL.....how civil is it to take credit for another's work and not give the author credit?
Next time Motley Fool thinks Alstry is UNCIVIL....it may want to take a look at its own behavior before suspending Alstry....since one of Alstry's and the Institute's primary missions is the same as Motley's.....Alstrynomics is all about helping other investors!!!!!
Alstrynomics is not about being popular....Alstrynomics is about being right....that is how Alstry helps investors. Remember that next time Fools when you think Alstry is UNCIVIL!!!!!! Please;)
