WestPacific--I just now noted your post. Having finished pitching a softball game and visiting the pub afterwards, I can't fully or eloquently respond to the specifics of your post. I will later, however, since you raised some good insight.

For sure, the guy at the lodge by the side of the lake, the same guy who has the balding head but the very good mustache, yes, he might determine dr.koop.com doesn't match well with Teddy Rosevelt and the Bull Moose Party, etc. And equally, for sure, this individual might have problems with KOOP's earnings.

But today is different. The Internet, every day, changes everything we used to know and believe in. Doesn't it?

For example, you already know what's happened with other companies which, forgive the term, showed shitty earnings but yet became very high-priced publicly traded companies. I really don't think I have to tell you who they are, do I?

Nonetheless, KOOP--you can't deny--is cutting edge. And that counts for something. Plus, we're functioning within crazy market days, are we not? Irrational? Yes and no.

Without time to now debate the specifics, the sociology perhaps, of what you've just posted, I'll close by restating my belief KOOP, down the road, will be a fine stock which will have capacity to meet economic crtiterias that made Mr. Bull Moose famous. It'll be a great stock and a great service for people.

Perhaps it's the quality of KOOP, coupled with its ultimate earnings potential, which makes it a good investment today. And, yes, profit (a reasonable wish) and conscience (unfair remarks from shorters) are interesting, are they not?

More later. Fare ye well.

Westpacific - looks like KOOP is getting down toward what was your buy target. Just wondering whether you'd still consider buying, once it stabilizes of course. I'd also be interested in hearing others' comments about the recent massive devaluation of all things Internet, and particularly KOOP and HLTH. -Eric
