Mr. Harmon,

Before you commented regarding LPHL "specifically on leisureplanet, its primary business was to acquire south african companies...it's also located in bermuda ... i think this one's a little too far on the fringe at this point"

Any change in your analysis now that LeisurePlanet.com (LPHL owns 81%) has announced to be the exclusive travel partner for InfoSpace US and their entire affiliate network (PR 7/7/99 - biz.yahoo.com, Yahoo Europe (France - fr.travel.yahoo.com , Germany - de.travel.yahoo.com), (PR 7/12/99 - biz.yahoo.com, and as previously announced Lycos Europe too. I think that shows that they have positioned themselves very well for the future (they expect over 40 million users from the InfoSpace alliance alone within the next 3 years), with alliances with 3 major portals, similar to the kind of branding that your other top 10 pick, PTVL has.

Regarding location in Bermuda, News.com article points out "Bermuda strives to become global e-commerce haven - July 8, 1999, 2:30 p.m. PT news.com .

Do you see some potential with this company with these new partnerships? Thank you in advance, and going to miss your reports on Yahoo.

Steve: I would be interested in your input about why NETP is at a 52-week low. Here is a link to Wit Capital's latest comments -- made after Net Perception's recent quarterly release...

witcapital.com

They have re-iterated their BUY rating and raised their estimates....BBRS and H & Q have also made very bullish comments recently. Yet, even though NETP has been executing, the firm has been selling off (in a more dramatic way than some of the other internet high flyers). I realize that NETP is a new issue and its still mis-understood. Yet, IMO it is a VERY important e-commerce infrastructure play. It is interesting that the company added 26 new clients in the most recent quarter (including Lycos). NETP is one of the most under-covered, under-hyped and under-appreciated net stocks. This is just my feeling. Of course NETP might be perceived quite differently if Paul Allen announced that he was going to take a very large, strategic position in the company <G>....He could easily do this since he has VERY DEEP pockets and a real interest in pioneering the next generation of successful e-commerce firms (Mercata.com is good example of this). I would really appreciate your current thoughts on Net Perceptions.

Best Regards,

Scott
