CHTR Long List of "Accidental(?) Zillionaires"

I don't know what the "official" name will be yet,
but it was inspired by a group of "wild n' crazy" posters over on the SI thread "Go2Net (GNET): A Go?"
Subject 19032
months ago, following GNET's
second 2:1 split for the year. It was like a huge party of celebration that went on for days.

A list was begun by several posters as a fun thing. It is a
list of the first 100 people who intend to be VERY "long"
holders of the stock (decades for some of us). A new GNET thread was started called
"Go2Net Long List of Go2Netillionaires," so it wouldn't interfere with the really "serious" investors on the original GNET thread. See link:
Subject 29200

The number one position on the list was given to a previous great poster on the GNET thread named Josef Svejk. (He quit posting on SI some time ago, but many of us hope he'll some day bless us again with his wit and classic "Wavs").

Anyway, that "fun" group inspired SarkieBug to begin a list of "longs" for the CHTR thread that she started (thank you again Sarkie!!!), as Charter Communications is one of a relatively new partnership of four companies called the "Broadband Partners" which includes GNET, CHTR, HSAC, RCNC.

I hope that helps a little bit.
Anyone please correct me if I got any of that wrong.
