psst... It worked! The Apache Web Server is Installed on this Web Site! If you can see this page, then the people who own this domain have just installed the Apache Web server software successfully. They now have to add content to this directory and replace this placeholder page, or else point the server at their real content. 199.239.69.153 check the bottom of the page... ws3.rnow.0mm.com probably ws3.messagemedia.com Has something to do with Response Now

I think there is generally a formula for averaging out the stock price. There may nonetheless be some small advantage to the acquired companies to getting the MESG stock down a bit if it will offer them bigger potential gains down the road...who knows the exact details, I sure don't. We are talking pretty major transactions, totalling $100 mil or so for a company valued at less than a billion. Big institutions may be asking for a window to accumulate in exchange for good coverage later, all informally of course, nothing overt would be said but people understand the game pretty well I would imagine. The primary way for companies to legally manipulate their stock price is to turn the volume on HIGH with information being fed out in a steady stream and then crank it off COMPLETELY to spook people and to get buying volume to level off. I would agree that something like that may be going on. We all know what kind of company this is (a huge story in the making, with existing affirmations from all those great customers). So the switch should be turned on again presently.

So much for the "pre-earnings" quiet period. However, it does appear Messagemedia was withholding all press releases until the contract with Revnet was inked. However, why does it feel like Jones took the seat off my bicycle and just left the post. Messagemedia was offering Revnet $46 million. Todays PR indicated they closed the deal for ABOUT 4 million shrs based on Monday's close. Well, ABOUT 4 million shrs works out to ABOUT 11 1/2 per shr. Also, looking back at Monday's close, it sure appears somebody tried to "mark the close". That's a no-no if you know what I mean. [For the record: MESG closed on its low Monday 16-1/4.] These guys are about to get their integrity called into question. Maybe Messagemedia will address some of these concerns in the conference call.
