Listen PAL, Your comment is completely irrelevant and hardly deserves a reply. OTOH it should not stand uncorrected: I am putting money into your economy. My personal contribution is not large on the global scale, but we are many of us and I can guarantee you that if we were all to withdraw our investments you definitely would feel it. I am not asking to become a US citizen, all I ask is equal rights to all investors. Let me ask you a simple question: Is my $$$ as good as $$$ from an American? In fact, from a US economical point of view, even preferable to those off a US investor, as, rather than just shuffle the same money around my money is actually imported from another country and economy. I don't know the real reason either, but I have feeling that CMGI was more or less forced to offer this IPO deal, but to limit costs they cut out the group with least voice in America - the foreign investors. Also, whether there are discriminations elsewhere in the world is another irrelevant point. America prides itself of being a kind of "guardian of democracy" and should do as it says - just like a cop ought to be the most law-abiding citizens. How would you feel if, say, you were on a plane to some Caribbean island and just as you were going to sit in your business class seat, for which you paid top dollar, the flight attendant tells you to go to monkey class - only because you are an American. No, before you get angry and starts replying, think about it. Put yourself in my place and see if you would not get angry too. I repeat - the monetary issue is the smallest. But the discrimination has me fuming!
