Funny how you responded to a post about NEGATIVE posters that didn't mention you! that post didn't mention me, but two posts before that one you had explicitly referred to me by name. Hence, I assumed that you were lumping me in with the rest of the group that you were attacking. Message 10601904 I have been lurking on this thread and the old one since inception, thank you. Yes, your first post was Feb 1997 and mine was April 1997. We've both been around for a while. Bottom line, I am an owner, you are not. And that gives you the right to insult? I think not. I have been an owner of this stock in the past, and in all likelihood will be an owner in the future. I try to make posts with some substance to them (this one excluded, obviously). I truly dislike it when people come on threads of stocks I'm long and then bash the stock when they have no facts to back them up... for example, a poster on the raging bull GOTO thread yesterday said that since there was a discrepancy between the number of unique visitors GoTo reported they had and the number that some independent agency reported they had that obviously GoTo had lied about the numbers, shareholder lawsuits would follow, they'd have to publish a retraction, etc., and obviously the company isn't in as good shape as they represent in their PR. To me, this was an obvious FUD job by a shorter and I took issue with it. (And I actually sold my GoTo a week and some ago so I'm neutral that stock too... Guess since I'm not an owner I should have let the original post go, huh?) Anyway, the text of your last few posts has been little more than swipes at StaggerLee and myself, the only people who are posting anything negative about the company right now. I'm not going away; I know that there are people here who actually value my opinions. Like I've said before, I would never short the stock and I will go long when I feel the risk/reward ratio is better than it is right now, even though I freely admit that I will likely miss the first few points of a run-up. I just hope that you'll add some more substance to your posts, rather than resort to personal attacks. Argue with my opinions instead of attacking me for posting them. -Mike
