Nice mishmash of flak. So what? AOL in eight years has grown from 75K subs and $15m rev to 8m and $1.7b without any meaningful profit. Every million subs has always been THE "critical mass".

And at that you quote first the $3.47 v $2.46 rps touted by AOL -- which double dips the $7.3m moved from Q3 to Q4 and then state that Q3 was $2.74 which it was.

Anyway, here's more MEANINGFUL momentum for y'all:

Year-over-year margins declined from 41% to 38% (and FY95's 41% was down from FY94's 42%. Indeed, in '90-93 margins were over 50% )

Working capital is negative $236m vs. negative $19m FY96.

EBITDA looks like $0.05/sh vs. Q3 $0.08, Free Cash flow
*negative* $1.37 vs. Q3 $0.54
