Correction - Roger Wilco to hit 50,000 by tommorrow. In less than 2
weeks.

Put's Hausmann's claim of "not enough time on the market" in
perspective, doesn't it?

>Hausmann's referrals re: summarily dismissing his naysayers as "short-sighted folks" may not be as valid as first suspected given this Roger Wilco end-run contemporaneous with Mpath's hearme.com's Yahoo! coup

In other words, the short "sided" people have been long "sighted" all along. Mpath's hearme.com isn't really a "coup" when they have built up a community of 2.5 million people while TMSR apparently has a shockwave dead link page and 0-3 conferences at any given time. It was more of a blindingly obvious choice on Yahoo's part. Apparently esecurites missed the obvious point that Yahoo's pager conflicts with PeopleLink's instant messenger and for TMSR to get any deal outside
of PeopleLink, even to link it with the supremely popular ICQ, they would have to ax their relationship with PeopleLink.

In fact, if I have time in the coming days, it might be amusing to do
a comparision with TMSR's promises, statements, and press releases with reality. They really have performed below even my pessimistic expectations ( I expected a portion of the online gaming niche market)

<Insert evil shorter laugh here>

Glad to see esecurities slowly wake from the Hausmann reality distortion field.
One item left though: This IPO dream. Esecurites, with all due respect, you have proven without a shadow of a doubt that you possess what could be kindly described as economic naivety. For your edification an IPO requires quite a bit of money and time. You don't just run out and IPO in a few weeks. Lawyers, underwriters - the whole lot is required. And an IPO is hardly a guarantee of more money, despite what newcomers to the market might believe. I would point out that even the Internet insanity is very chilled at this point, with blue chip internet stocks diving, and new internet IPOs actually *falling* the first day sometimes! Imagine that - the markets reverting to normal! And a company that had absolutely nothing to offer the market that can't be gotten already - and that only amounts to a few $100,000 in sales, is hardly an IPO candidate.
I welcome TMSR to try - it would guarantee their bankruptcy.

But don't worry, esecurities, as per their exciting press release, Computer Gaming World will be featuring their, oh I'm sorry PeopleLink's, instant messanger by next month for possible exposure to the percentage of CGW's 300,000 customers that are totally oblivious to the free online alternatives, but highly interested in
online activities. Meanwhile ICQ will rack up another +5,000,000 downloads (this is NO exaggeration - up to 52,000,000 now) . And maybe CGW will actually review their product by then.

Side note: It was stated in this forum that Ron Resnick *bought* 5,000 shares in recent months. This is incorrect - he sold 5,000 shares - at 12.50. There have been no buys. Hmmmm.
