I wouldn't have to waste my time debating you if you would kindly stop putting words in my mouth.

Last post you used the words "I think ultimately you'll acknowledge," now you continue with your WEAK arguments with the statement "One thing I don't think we have to debate too much and that's NetZero's current share price seems a fine candidate to double or triple in the not-too-distant future."

Yes you do. How much you wanna bet that NZRO won't "double or triple in the not-too-distant future"?

You talk of eyeballs. That was the BS that many analysts were using during the dot com craze when stocks like Yahoo and Amazon were trading well into the 3 figures. Where are they now? Hello? Eyeballs don't mean squat if no one is buying. Your reference to eyeballs as mattering is proof you are clueless about where this stock is headed. Even NZRO has given up on eyeballs. What do you think their advertisers are going to pay them now when there is no fat toolbar on the Platinum screen? What free surfers are left? Do you think advertisers wanna go after surfers (1) too cheap to pay for Internet service, and (2) who are online no more than 10 hours per month? Hello?

You appear like many NZRO shareholders I've come across. You live in a dream world; you don't deal with reality. NZRO used to claim 8+ million users. It now has about 200K paying subs, maybe $250 with latest move away from free service. The variance in these numbers are huge. You don't think advertisers realize this?

There is complete over-estimation of the value of advertising on the Net irrespective of NZRO. I never understood how others thought that somehow they could run a profitable business selling advertising on the Net. Very few surfers pay attention to the ads; they view as a nuisance if anything. Of those that may give it attention, how many will click the ad? Not many. Of those that click the ad, how many will ultimate purchase the advertised product or service? Even less. The whole model is ridiculous. I always thought so, which is why its no surprise to me why many of these dot-coms have failed.
