CommTouch seems like a great fit. What I like most about the acquisition, though, is the partnership between VV and GNET. I had begun to have some doubts about the strength of the relationship, given that 1) PA was unsuccessful in his $90/share bid to take control of GNET and 2) VV and AOL have been involved in closed-door talks, as of late. I see the VV/GNET partnering on this deal as a re-affirmation of the PA commitment to make GNET the centerpiece of Wired World. Re my post #97, the list of investments on the PA website is still blank, although recently it has displayed "Test 1" in the field. I'm holding off on posting the updated Master List, hoping for an updated list from PA's site, but I will post the Master List tomorrow, either way. The current Master List is at Message 10380929 PM
