StockHawk: Thanks for the reference to Moore and Kippola as Internet Capital Group investors on the GG disclosure page. I missed that. Others here may have as well.

I did try earlier to point out that since the primary author of the GG was listed as an "advisor" to ICGE that perhaps someone here might wish to take a look at this diamond in the rough. Zero, zilch, nada response. For some time Teflon and I have talked to each other here now then re SFE et al but don't remember other interest.

One problem is that all this stuff mucks up the purity of the GG for serious GGers, since just because Moore or Kippola are involved with ICGE is irrelevant to whether ICGE is a potential gorilla or royalty. Just of passing interest, nada mas.

And neither SFE nor ICGE meet the criteria of gorilla or royalty IMO, though Teflon who is the real expert in this may have a different more informed view.

As I have said before, I called SFE my One Significant Other in my game because I did not see it as either a gorilla or royalty candidate - just a way to participate in the internuts which I wanted to do and thought that others here might also. Nope.

One bit of fun is that since Moore didn't have a clue on the Q, perhaps he is not worth much to ICGE except as a name. Not at all sure his advice is any good. Would be curious to see, but doubt we will ever find out.

Thanks StockHawk. I think I actually posted a couple weeks back that Geoffrey Moore is also on the Advisory Board of ICGE, which is the latest portfolio company of SFE to go public. Unfortunately, no one seemed to interested.

But thanks again for the reminder!
