For a few minutes a day, it is pure Russell around here... this message board is really rock'in today. Thanks for raising your glass to all of Go2Net! : ) ... looking at longer time horizons, there are almost 200 Go2Net employees working behind the scenes and tens of thousands of SI members who help with PR, Marketing, buying product, and steering the ship. It all adds up to a pretty big company.
