DOESN'T A SECONDARY STOCK OFFERING, AS OPPOSED TO A STOCK SPLIT, CAUSE A DILUTION AND THEREFORE A DEVALUATION OF CURRENTLY OWNED SHARES?

THANKS ALL FOR A GREAT THREAD. I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO JOIN IN THE CHEERLEADING (MUCHLESS ADD SUBSTANTIVE POSTS), BUT I DO FIND THE TIME TO KEEP UP. I REMEMBER WHEN "GNET 200 (PRE SPLIT), TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT" WAS JEERED, SO YA NEVER KNOW...

It is also feasible that Go2Net and Mr. Allen are planning ahead for a possible entry to the markets for future stock offering...

True, but since a secondary offering is dilutional the effect is almost always a fall in share price. Russell and Paul Allen know this, and wouldn't use this method to raise cash UNLESS it were absolutely necessary. The loss of shareholder support is often not worth it. JMO.
