[Much of this was posted in the middle of another thread after, and based on developments after, that thread had been created. IMHO, it got buried and didn't receive the attention it deserves. I think it deserves its own thread. YMMV. If not, I'm sure it will be combined or domed, and I'll be properly chastised by the Moderators.]
On the subject of auditing over Skype, Michael A. Hobson, Independent Scientologist, Indie 500 #99, patiently explained that the "certain unscrupulous 'Freezone' e-meter vendors" who promote "this particular piece of bullshit" (i.e., auditing over Skype) "now require investigation."

Leaving aside such puny "wog" morality concepts of tolerance, mutual acceptance, freedom of speech and freedom of religion, and looking at it solely from an First or Third Dynamic "self"-interested perspective, and applying analytical cost-benefit analysis, did anyone (other than Michael A. Hobson, Independent Scientologist, Indie 500 #99) think that this particular comment: (1) would intimidate or deter anyone from auditing over Skype; or (2) would not make so-called Independent Scientologists look like scary and intolerant nut-jobs?
"[T]hese people now require investigation." Some moderator thought it was a good idea to post this on Marty's blog? Per Marty: (a) "End of discussion on this blog about skype auditing": but (b) discussion of investigating dissenters is perfectly ok? Really?

What fascinates me is not that Michael A. Hobson, Independent Scientologist, Indie 500 #99, wrote the following about auditing over Skype, but that Marty (or one of his moderators) thought it would be a good thing to post on his blog:Mike Hobson | November 8, 2012 at 1:38 am | Reply
Marty,
Thank you for putting your foot down on this particular piece of bullshit. I’m not even a classed auditor, yet I understand why this so totally wrong. But there is a subtle point some folks may have overlooked here:
(1) only an ex-Churchie experienced PC is at all likely to pony up for the remote e-meter gear so they can be audited over the Internet…
(2) In every auditor’s immediate neighborhood, town or city, there are literally hundreds or thousands of persons who have not yet been contacted and introduced to Scientology…
(3) Points 1 and 2 mean that an Internet Auditor *not bringing new people into Scientology*, but instead scavenging existing Scientologists who left Co$.
(4) It also means such a so-called “auditor” has about zero confront or awareness of the people in the world right around him who sorely need him to set them on the road to Total Freedom.
God help us!

There is another, far more important point I left out.
pre-Clear or pre-OT of an “auditor” doing remote Internet based auditing has to have their own Internet remote e-meter!!!! For Ron Hubbard brand Standard Tech auditing, only the auditor needs to own an e-meter (actually two (2) per the Checklist For Setting Up A Session HCOB).
The above should tell you all you need to know: this gross out-tech was originated by and is promoted by certain unscrupulous “Freezone” e-meter vendors so they can sell far more of their e-meters than they otherwise might. For those of us with the time and inclination, I would say that these persons now require investigation.

Hey Mike. “Thank you for putting your foot down on this particular piece of bullshit.”
Do you know what happens between your toes if you do this? Yeww.
