Perhaps you should invite the Ask God thread to participate, so far there's only 'bashers', you need a few holier than thou longs. Here's one that has a heck of a name for a CEO of a BB company. biz.yahoo.com This is not an indictment of the company, just funny! :) HOUSTON--(reference deleted)--Aug. 19, 1999--ebaseOne (OTC BB:EBAS - news), an emerging leader in the Application Service Provider (ASP) market, announced today that Charles Skamser, the company's CEO, conducted an on-line interview with the Wall Street Reporter discussing his views on the ASP market and the company's future plans.

Oh, this is simply over the top! I have no problem with people of faith putting it into action, but that web site did me in altogether. BTW, do you remember the old Service Master annuals?

Check this dude out. He answers posts with new threads. And he's cranky about it. Watch out, she's gonna blow... First, you have to see this stock's weekly chart for the full effect. Max says this deal is going to 38 and "fairvalue" is 35. Maybe it split 3 for one yesterday or something. iqc.com The first three threads: Subject 29915 Started By: Date: Aug 8 1999 6:55PM ET 08-04-1999 AVID Technology (AVID) recived an Upgrade from "Buy " to a "Strong Buy" by ISAG. The target price into the next 12 mo. is set at $38. AVID is worldwide leader in video editing software. The revenue is expected to double as a result of aggresive pricing in its product range. The company has long term contracts with Sony, Tektronix and several broadcasting and move producing companies. *************** Subject 30035 Started By: Max Date: Aug 14 1999 1:04PM ET AVID Tech. is a "great buy" here. It was Upgraded to "Strong Buy" and the target price was set at $38. Just look at its market cap-$305 mil. They paid $280 mil. for Softimage just 12m. ago. Is AVID worth $25 mil.??? This is a joke. When the company became public 5 years ago it started at $25 per share and since than the company grew by %600. This will be a great money maker. The fairvalue of the stock is at around $35. On the top of this, the summer is the strongest season for them....Also check the insider buying. The CEO bought at $15-17 a share, so this should tell you something. ********* Subject 30070 Started By: Max Date: Aug 16 1999 10:47PM ET GREAT BUY!!!!! ONE OF THE BIGGEST MONEY MAKERS IN THE NEXT 3 MON. ********* ...and the 4th thread caught my attention; Subject 30128 [thread title] TO ALL DARK MINDED PEOPLE ON "AVID" BOARD Started By: Max Date: Aug 18 1999 11:01PM ET TO ALL OF YOU HARD MINDED AND HEADED PEOPLE ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD: 1.)

Not getting paid for anything? That's tough, dude. Is that how you got the food stamps, and why you can't buy a damn membership, or is it because you can't read a chart? It's not my fault your stupid stock imploded, sir. It's your fault because you bought it. For your next thread, I have a couple of possible titles: Please Help, I Can't Seem To Write A Post I'm Taking Up Space, So You Owe Me Money When I get to 10 AVID Threads, It Will Go Up, Oh Yes, And Then You Will Be Sorry, Yes You Will, Really Sorry, You People, So There BAD SPELING, ALL CAPS, NO MONEY, NO SENSE OF HUMER, YOUR FAULT, AND WATER BALOONS FRUM SPACE - WHAT'S THE CONNECTION?

Subject 30143 [thread title] TO MR CHICKEN BRAINS Started By: Max Date: Aug 19 1999 12:29PM ET DEAR CHICKEN BRAINS, MY FRIEND , FIRST THE MEMBERSHIP IS FOR THE IDIOTS THAT DO NOT HAVE PERSONAL OPINION....YOU PROBABLY, ALSO ARE A MEMBER OF YOUR COUNTRY CLUB WHERE YOU AND OTHER CHICKENS GET TO SHIT TOUGHETHER ON THE WEEKENDS....COOL...

SO CHICKEN BRAINS ...BE COOL AND WORRY ABOUT MY MONEY SITUATION.... BEST WISHES, "WELL OF" PETAR. **************** I figure Admin Bob will poof them all now, so I wanted you to see them. But the thing is: this is too weird. This dude can't make a post, he can only make threads. I think he has the free coffee shop membership and maybe there is a thing there that tells you how to make a thread. So he doesn't realize what he is doing. I hope that's it. Because if not, he's in the Kiddy Area of the gene pool, and that is kinda scary in a way. But at least he did put "Mr." in the last thread title. This means he can read. best wishes, MR THE CHICKEN BRAINS TO YOU
