Den, I couldn't disagree with you more. Your last post sounds more than anything like a justification for your previous post. Janik was very wise to go after a man like Fowler and I wouldn't be surprised if he follows suit by adding another successful restaurateur to the board. The move into the Internet/e-commerce sector may be very profitable but it's not a replacement to their restaurant business. Heritage has got a lot on the go in the food & Beverage sector and I'm expecting that they will grow GCSC immensely by June 2000. My perspective of the Platinum deal is very realistic; I think it's a great move by Janik - moving his franchise business into the Internet sector - but not enough information has been released on it to make it my primary reason for staying invested. On the other hand, I've been to the GCSC, I've seen the set up and tasted the food and I am thoroughly convinced that it has what it takes to become a winning franchise. I used to travel daily throughout central Ontario and would eat lunch, and quite often dinner, five days of the week in restaurants for about six years. I've probably eaten in more restaurants than such culinary critics as Ruth Reichl, Sara Waxman, and David Rosengarten put together. I've learned which restaurants do well in a given area and which ones don't. I take dining very seriously (in case you haven't noticed) and have always chosen quality over convenience. The Great Canadian Soup Company is a WINNER! And I would gladly travel out of my way to eat there. But hey, I'm glad they're doing the Internet thing too - it's an added bonus for my investment dollars. BTW, have you been down to the GCSC on Bay yet? I'll be there again tomorrow if you'd like to meet up for lunch. I'll be there between 11:30 and 1:30. All the Best Marty P

The impression I got from the news release, and talking to management, was that the radio deal was more of a business to business arrangement. Hci would set up a portal so that Radio Stations (whether large or small) could access the e-commerce services provided. This could be in the form of a National on-line chat with Shania Twain, or access to sold out Concert Tickets. Hci would receive a fee on a "Per Hit" basis for the services, and the radio stations would have access to services they may not be able to afford on their own.I guess it would be a form of co-op. So the portal is not intended to be used by the public directly but access would be provided through the radio stations own Web site. Please correct me if I misrepresented anything so far. My point , and I do have one, is that HCi will not be as concerned about teachers and kids ,but more with the radio stations liking the content and ease of use. Vitalsigns
