Jeff, I know you read pretty much all the posts here...and I thought I read that Russ does on occasion... How much, if any of the many things brought up on this thread are discussed at the office (your's that is)... Are any of the ideas, concerns, etc...discussed seriously??? If so, is it possible to get feedback on things that the company agrees/disagrees with now and then? I don't expect you guys/gals to answer everything (heck I don't expect you to answer anything..except maybe the Investor Relations person), but... TIA v/r Steve

Hi Jeff, My focus is very narrow (almost strictly investment-related and very little shopping, gaming, etc.) and it's late, so don't expect this to be too profound . . . I've come to schedule my activities so that I do most of my SI'ing at home (dial-up). In particular, the "View Next 10 Messages" feature has made a profound difference for us dial-up'ers. For the most part, linking from posts, linking to SEC filings (which I am heavy into right now) and linking to historical prices, company profiles, etc. is bearable (graphs are a bit of a problem, though) - everything within the SI site is not too painful speed-wise (not sure I should be saying this, given the content of my post!) What I mainly reserve for work (DSL) is the search process - SI is only one of the places I get my information, and I crave the ability to get information from the newswires and independent sites. The search function is one of my greatest frustrations, but FWIW, I use Metacrawler and Dogpile (I really appreciate the chronological ordering) almost exclusively now, when beginning a search. So it's the search function, along with streaming audio (Vcall, etc.) Not the best of feedback, I know, but I'll pm you if something else comes to mind when I'm a little fresher. While I've got your attention, I'd like to thank you for all your hard work (I'm sure we don't know the half of it) on the New SI - it really is a great improvement and much appreciated. I hope that all the backlash hasn't resulted in any discouragement - you have many supporters out here. PM
