If you would like to overcome your ignorance, I suggest you read this thread from the first post. However, it may be of little help in making you rich. <:-)

Did you really expect your hero, Your Fonz, to pretend to understand a low life patser like you Potsie? Or are you playing the part of Gilligan or Tattoo today? <:} <;} feel better now ? Wingman

None was taken. I didn't get what you intended to say. I see now you're just a little frustrated. You haven't been. The frustration is a good sign. You don't see much yeehawing going on here now. Is anything worse than it was in say, April? No, but most if not all of the water is out. We've been in a mini-bear market and next year it is likely to re-assert itself. So you should be a little frazzled. I don't care much for GBLX. It has great expectations built on debt. You can have great expectations but don't borrow to realize them. It's the road to hell. Blue Mountain is a clever ploy which this thread hasn't understood. Did they overpay? Probably. Do I understand? Probably not. We should figure it out. Eyeballs isn't enough and I think that misses the meat. Novelty is a better reason, a product differentiation and eclat reason. Utility must attend entertainment and Blue Sky has that element. Eyeballs is just eyeballs clicking through. We've covered that before. Eric has the skinny. I didn't care much for Excite?! and I still don't, but the market is saying that the worst is over from that aspect. Maybe Excite?! can surprise us. We surely don't expect much from the Bell bell boys. Management is taking risks to secure an identity and a utility which transcends the possible negative impact of open access. Since open access is only a matter of time and form maybe the risk is justified. When you have to take risk, take it early. Someone said ATHM is following the AOL content model. That's an interesting idea. I don't think it is intentional and so it would probably work out if true. Not much extra risk in evolution. ps. Missouri is going to be shown the door. Att will let SBC build their cable net, ha ha. Ah.
