I think it's sweet that you are so in love with Gilder. I also think Gilder Gagnon and Howe think it's sweet that a close relative just made them 20 million dollars on a debt ridden, ordinary technology,no profit company. This company is a joke. Give me three reasons why anyone should buy this stock besides the fact that the man you worship told you to.

Hello all, Considering that there are people on this thread who feel the shorts are blowing smoke and trying to distract the thread with suggestions of a possible relationship between the Gilders I have decided to post tonight just some of the evidence we have gathered suggesting otherwise. I will not post all of it because I do not want to tip our hand at this time. If someone reads the info I post tonight and still feels there is no relationship whatsoever you must be crazy or like lottery tickets. I firmly believe there is a relationship based on the evidence we have and should have conclusive proof by the end of the week. Regardless, we will hopefully have a conclusive answer by the end of the week. To address a related issue I would like to comment on people being comforted by the fact that George Gilder stated on this thread he was not the brother of Richard. Well, if you were caught doing something improper or illegal do you think you would just admit it(ie. Pres Clinton)? I have way too much evidence proving otherwise and the odds of no relationship are like 200 million to one. I also know George Gilder reads this thread and challenge him and Gilder Gagnon and Howe to issue a press release on business wire or pr news wire stating in no uncertain terms their is no relationship in any capacity. George has thousands of followers and this would be only fair to all his subscribers so they truly know his position. Richard Gilder should also do the same considering they are/were the #1 institutional holder of this stock. You would think a firm of their stature would want to quash this rumour like a bug if it were a fabrication. I feel very very strongly they would not/could not be able to make that press release because there is a relationship. In fact, If you do accept my challenge I will even foot the bill for the news release. Hows that for fair? Rob
