Well TB you are obviously a disappointed and hurt man.
I had to re-read your last two posts here a couple of times to try to understand just why, what & who you are so angry at.
Over the year you have written many very smart, informative and cautionary posts about GNET. Perhaps we should have listened to your advice and been more careful—perhaps you should have listened to yourself and done the same. Hindsight can be a great tool to learn from but painful as well.
When we realize we have really screwed up a common reaction is to look for blame outside ourselves. That is what I hear loud & clear in these two posts of yours.
You lash out at the ‘Go2Net Long’ members for their past and present stupidity.
You devastate the GNET management team for misleading and taking advantage of these same ‘cult’ members. BTW-Weren’t you on that list with us? We just had some fun for awhile.
When we last heard from you sounded upbeat & hopeful about GNET, as many of us were, and you were friendly to us longs who share this bumpy ride with you:

For the first time in quite a while, I for one am ecstatic
The trend definitely shows signs of changing....
I would ramble on some more, but have a flight to catch soon, vacation time!
Regards
-So I figure you either had a real real lousy & long vacation, or like the rest of us, came back to a sinking market, an unexpected merger followed by a bailout of old GNET Mgt. from INSP and a plunging share price. –AND-like many of us, still held at least some shares and were /are very disappointed.
--Understandable if this is even partly your situation.
Many of us on here have also been angry at our current situation with INSP and have also been lashing out. The difference I see is that, at least for me, I can only blame myself for any calls on selling or holding this stock. Sure I can be pissed for awhile at Naveen Jain, or even Russell Horowitz for ‘their’ bad calls...but in the end it was always my call. I do not blame my fellow posters, traders & investors for my own folly.

even with all the betrayal some still apparently revere him almost like a second coming of Christ... the belief will always be there that the love is deep and returned.
There are a lot of good decent people who did not deserve the sellouts and broken promises, having placed all faith and much hard earned equity on a total stranger in exchange for personal responsibility. (Guilty once)
--I think this is the closest to you come to saying you got hurt in all of this TB, I really don’t know. What you say in the above bold there is true, I feel the same way, but I just didn’t like hearing you bash my friends here-not once, but twice in a row.
. You also mentioned “un-returned love” in both posts. You sound like you have really been let down somewhere along the way. You are not alone. Just please be nicer to your old buds here.
<<No one will hear more from these clowns.... Once they were anointed saviors by the "trillionaires" at 2000 annual meeting, the wonder boys felt they could do no wrong... break out the champagne in honor of the "thousandaires" heading of to a pilgrimage in Shangri La.

just join a group and belong to a clique, catch a few falling pianos with some mad money, express undying emotion and unreturned love for some run of the mill exec. officers that obviously only were out for themselves ...
>...those who will never give up on the mania mentality, and who now just desperately need scapegoats so they can conveniently avoid personal responsibility and perish the thought, won't EVER have to be deprogrammed from the Horowitz lovefest cult.
-- “who now just desperately need scapegoats so they can conveniently avoid personal responsibility” Exactly TB, why tear at us then?
Now all of ‘us’ repeat to ourselves: I’m really pissed off that my choice to go long with GNET into this ‘merger’ with InfoSpace may have been a mistake, and if it is, I take full responsibility for that choice
OK, that said, lets get that class action suit started!...or
...Go2Net is not a go; it’s gone, so I choose to go very long INSP- #34,
