Totally agree, brk! and IMO, the Hasbro/GNET alliance will make ALL GNET long stockholders very much wealthier ~ a member of my family is quite involved in the entertainment game business, and I can say we will all be VERY happy about this new GNET arrangement!!!

Steve Harmon has indicated that a top 5 ranking is GNET's goal and that mostly it will get there through acquisitions. Maybe you should send management a note about your idea for licensing the search technology. According to their 10-k, they don't actually own it but have an exclusive license to it from U. of Wash.? Their current Chief Technology Officer, Oren Etzioni, developed it while a professor at U of W. I don't know if the licensing agreement has changed now that he's joined GNET.

GNET has yet another answer for your desire to see them leverage their technology--an answer perfect in its comprehensiveness. Their responses are so perfectly timed I feel as though you and they must be in cahoots and I've been set up. :)

Incidently, I'm not yet convinced that it is necessary for GNET to have a huge advertising campaign to move into the top 5.
