HI Richard:, you said , and I cliped part of it: AOL is in the early stages of new industry. If it doesn't make a profit within about 18 months then I would be worried but it does own a large part of the mind share. This is worth quite a bit. They have shown that they do know how to run a company so far. Just thought I would put in my 2 cents worth Richard Vaughn ------------------------------ Don't mean to sound negitive, but the fact is AOL has been around a long long time..and it's "always" had crummy service..and just captures "NUBIES"...for years now any one using AOL..gets stigmatized, as a geek..I did not start it..it was there when I can on the internet..but I have found since that AOL users seem to know very little about the internet,..and AOL itself is pure garbage when compared to a regular ISP ... Now we have the Law suit going..it's not a joke..the EP of AOL is..fact is AOL needs to be sued..don't want to put me on the Jury..I'v seen too many people burned by AOL, to take a jury position..Last..her stock price is just hanging by a tread, lot of funds have her..many of them want out but don't want her to crash and burn before they can and they have so many shares ..so they have a dilema..if they start dumping they get burned..it's a disaster waiting to happen..and I have a feeling it just started about 2pm today..she closed down, big drop about 2pm..closed with an order influx..maybe the cartel of fund dumbs will patch things up over the week end..maybe they won't... expect a big selloff next week dispite their efforts.. well hope I din't rub you wrong, but belive me as time goes on u will find out why AOL user are looked at as geeks..not that they all are..most of them do quit AOL ....all the fluff about new subcribers is liable to hang them to..they are going to have to prove that now in court..( watch em try to dance out of that )..how many times has shec shut down this year, why did she pull out of Russia..forget why..it was a fiasco..and what did that cost them..I'm sure AOL will be around for a while, graping.. NUBIES..like they say theres a sucker born every min. so she will always have some one to milk..but it wont be me.. Jim get ou
