Jeff p/e ratio's sme/he ratios take a break and deal with something important. Ok lets take this one more step....GNETS first TV commercial. Its the last few seconds of the basketball game, the home team scores a basket, the camera flashes to the scoreboard, the home team is now within one, a player calls time out. The cheerleaders come out on the court GO TO BASKET GO TO NET GO GO GO The camera flashes back to the players, they are in a huddle with the coach and the camera zooms in, it pans all their sweaty nervous faces real tight and then hesitates for a moment on the coach, he says GO TO NET BOYS, they break. They take the court and of course score on a marvelous shot and everyone does the big celebration thing and then the screen goes to blank and another moment passes and then the go2net.com logo comes up .

Thanks Jeff. I figured it was something like that. I guess they are as confused about where to get the REAL info as we Junior Balloons. From where did you get the fully diluted share and pro forma earnings info? GNET I hope. Thanks again. jb PS. I do think PE's matter. This is why I am very uncomfortable investing in AMZN and other inuts without some earnings/profits.. I think they have a great chance of succeeding, but their are huge risks and tremendous competition. But I don't have a problem with high PE's as long as it is related to tremendous growth. yada yada yada... jb

Jeff- The other day I had the good fortune of making the 11 millionth post. My elation last a good four minutes until after doing a search I found a poster claiming that because I was saying good things about GNET (it was on a GNET thread and I frequently say good things about you guys) that it was a "set up". Message 11000050 I felt a little like I'd just been wisked away for a drug test after a marathon win! LOL I'm not so clueless to think that there is even a remote possibility of Go2Net doing this. What I am curious about is, and I don't want you to have to disclose company secrets to answer me, is there a possiblity that threads that have fast and furious posting in the hopes of snagging a particularly desirable grub, might in fact skew the odds against themselves? In other words, does it take the servers longer to process multiple posts from the same threads or do they get a header pointing them to each thread and are simply processed in the order that they are received. I'm sorry if this question has already been asked. -Grace
