RE> They spent 36% of revenues on advertising in the Dec 96 qtr!!! Brian you don't get it: ---------------------------- To: +Jinping Shi (1533 ) From: +Brian K Crawford Feb 6 1997 11:45PM EST Reply #1536 of 1626 They spent 36% of revenues on advertising in the Dec 96 qtr!!! -------------------------------- They spend a lot of that money with CNN and other big networks, and the news media in general has been very nice to AOL..just because of that. That's not just advertising by the way..that's grease...you know like hey do you think for a min the big networks want to shoot that down..the news media is no more honorable than the politicians we have. as far as you being impressed with the numbers regarding revenue increasers..to start with that kind of dough is nothing..and a lot of it they won't get, it's just one more way they do a spin on trying to hang onto suckers. You better do some home work..AT&T is going to controal AOL within a year. Suckers who bought the stock can cry all they want..at least I won't have to hold their hand, they will likly look at me as some jerk..but I'm not the one jiving them into buying into it..I saw Steve , lying his rear off on CNN, about not advertizing any more..and even the MC knew it was a lie as he had just saw an add, but he never blinked an eye..or took Steve to task..talk about self serving sensationalistic hog wash..thats what all the jive is about incresing revenues.. They are broke..and begging..and when they stop greasing the net works..with the money they riped off, you may get a little truth from that end. By the way do you work for them ? If your not having problem hooking up you must have an inside track. I can't get mail back from half the American OFFliners I write. Jim
