MattJosh - thanks for posting those - the only one which seems relevant is the last one:
Currently, there is a $200 Million Libel lawsuit pending (Medphone v. DeNigis). Medphone is a Fortune 500 company which makes medical instruments. Prodigy subscriber Peter DeNigis lost $9,000 when he sold off his Medphone stocks and is alleged to have published negative posts stating that the Medphone company "appears to be a fraud".
I'd be very interested in the resolution of the case, since personally, I would have a hard time convicting the guy for only saying the company "appears" to be a fraud (as opposed to stating as a fact that the company IS a fraud). The other suits are against the board provider and not the poster (except for the one where he called the guy a child molester...).
