Any particular reason that you were not impressed with the chairman of RCN? Just a general feel. Although he feels confident about RCN's ability to get significant market share, he didn't seem to have solid numbers and information to back that up. If I also recall correctly, he had just received additional financing through a bond issue or something, and seemed quite full of himself for raising the cash. I don't view this as an accomplishment, and to me, displays a certain immaturity. I may be way off base, but I didn't get a feel that made me want to run out and invest yet in RCNC, especially at these prices. I am also an Erol's customer, and am not terribley happy with the service. They are oversubscribing faster than AOL, and can't keep up with it. I wonder what RCN is getting for their $100mm+? BTW, the guy who started Erol's, was in the video rental business before ISP. He sold that one out to Blokbuster for a bundle. jas
