Comments: Hey Allen, Just wanted to let you know that I'm responsible for the japanese article you posted on SI. I lived in Japan for 16 years, moved to NY a year and a half ago. I was at a Japanese party here and met this journalist (Hiroko is a woman, not a man) who writes about IT and the internet for a japanese publication. I told her all about PNLK and encouraged her to write about it. Never heard back from her and so was very surprised to see the URL you posted. I don't have a japanese font installed on my computer so I can't read it, but I sent her an email and maybe she'll call and send me hard copy. I've been in PNLK since April '98, read every SI post everyday, haven't sold a single share, and suffer and rejoice along with every other long, all of whom certainly feel like friends to me now. You've all done so much to keep me faithful and patient, and it's nice to be able to contribute something to help move this company along. While I've got your eyes I just want to mention something that caught my notice awhile back but no-one picked up on it. Pure speculation and IMHO, of course, but you perhaps remember the PR that said that GZ sat next to the Foreign Misister of Indonesia on the flight back to NY, and we all know that PNLK's entry into Indonesia is perhaps at a higher, more politically well-connected level than any other country so far. Well...sometime after that you posted an article concerning the UN's "Developing Countries Bloc" (don't remember the correct title) which consists of about 73 developing economies, exactly the market PNLK is going after. It mentioned that the chairman's post was being taken over by........you guessed it, Indonesia, in fact the foreign Minister himself. That made my imaginary eyes pop out! What if.....when everything's in place, Indonesia, as the leader of the bloc, encourages ALL the countries to join PNLK as the standard platform by which they engage in B2B commerce, which we all know holds the greatest potential to grow their economies etc. etc. This made me dizzy just to contemplate. I hope and assume that GZ and Jean Pierre have all this figured out long ago, but I just wanted to contribute a little hopeful speculation during what has been an incredibly depressing period for stockholders. With the last Email from Glenn though, it looks like we're going to roar into view come autumn. best wishes to all of you; Terri, Warren, AB3, James, May, Todd and all the regular posters from one more obsessed, financially foolish, 98% PNLK invested dreamer(visionary?) living in New York City.Joshua Popenoe(Allen, would you mind posting this on SI? Thanks) |
