Yes I truly believe in BB and ATHM. There is no valid reason IMO why Excite has to go it's separate way. IMO the combination with excite is the logical way to go.

If they could have their way, The "dumb pipe" business plan is exactly what AOL and it's allies would like for ATHM. This dumb pipe plan is much less threatening to the competition. They would like us to believe it but that does not make it correct. There is no reason why ATHM can not be both a content provider and a dumb pipe network provider. IMO, some day in the future BB will be a commodity.

Your idea is not logical, it is a stupid idea IMO. The non logical, very negative idea that excite has no value to ATHM has contributed to the fall of our stock price every since the ATHM/XCIT merger. HaySues Cristay, give it a few days break, cut us some slack with the negative vibes.

It is most important to control the first page, the menu, AOL knows this very well. It is not too late to win that war, why give up now? I have read some posters talk on this tread about you can't win the content against AOL because they have such great content. ??? That is a joke.

Just saw my first @Home advertisement on TV on the J-Leno show (ATT@Home ad).
