Perhaps you should go to RagingBull and learn a bit more. Seems I recall a visit. You didn't stay very long. You appeared under two names then, didn't you? Who knows, maybe you still are posting there but under a different name. But none of that matters, does it? Re-read the article: forbes.com Seems a rather objective critique of Goldston. Personally, I'd rather see him described in that light than if in a fluff and puff piece. If you careful read the article you'll note the guy can get things done. I believe there's a quote indicating he's a good "start-up guy." Well, isn't that exactly what NetZero needs, a start-up guy? The guy must be personable in order to land jobs with Reebok, L.A. Gear and Fabrage, popular names each. And he has to be creative. The pump sneakers was big-time stuff, and so wasn't light in the heels. At least this shows Goldston has a futuristic flair. And that's precisely what NetZero needs. The Fabrage deoderant thing? Well, hey, the world needs it. Give him a hand! (LOL) Me? I don't know nuthin' 'bout no bagels. But apparently he got the bagel thing off the ground and built it up from nowhere. That, in itself, has to be deemed an accomplishment. Could you do such a thing, Donny? I couldn't. Heck, I wouldn't even know where to begin on that one. So, all in all, I think you've been too hard on him. He hasn't even been with NetZero a full year, but you're ready to take him apart. I think your criticisms on Goldston are premature and unfounded. He obviously knows advertising and marketing, and given what NetZero is doing and what it needs for its revenues, having a guy like him is crucial. Since you're so strong with your criticisms and know everything about NetZero, Donny, can you tell me who the chief technology officer is for NetZero? And if you do, what do you know about him? I look forward to your answer. If you're going to condemn something you ought at least to know what it is you're condemning. Agree?
