>> I have sent an e-mail to the Gilder Group While I appreciate your indignation at seeing copyrighted information posted on a public thread, it was unfortunate that you chose that course of action, cfoent. Once tekboy was made aware of the error he had made in his innocent attempt to share knowledge with his threadmates, he was quick to attempt to repair the damage. There may be several positives to this unfortunate affair: We've all learned a valuable lesson about intellectual property and the need to protect it. We've seen first hand why Gilder is valued (and protected) by his followers. Some of us may choose to subscribe to the Gilder Report as a result. Since you have a direct line to Gilder, please ask if he will let tekboy off the hook if I place a subscription today. uf

OFF TOPIC cfoent, I asked that appropriate action be taken ... I think it's deplorable that you asked for anything, showing no compassion whatsoever for a person who has contributed generously to this thread, allowing him the option of making a mistake. I think it's more than deplorable that you chose to announce it. I'm not a vindictive person, but I can assure you that until you make a public apology, there will be no help coming your way from my teensy weensy corner of the universe. I'd be concerned that I might accidentally offend your sensibility and your pocketbook, causing you to publicly let everyone know about it. PM your address to me and I'll send to you the cost of one year's subscription to the Gilder Report in cash. That will surely help make up for your losses. And considering the number of potential customers in this thread who they certainly don't want to offend, I trust that the folks at the Gilder Report will handle this situation in a more understanding, mature manner than the path you chose. --Mike Buckley
