Sorry Steve, your response doesn't cut it. As I said in my initial post on this subject that it isn't the $99 bucks. It is that the time frame was moved up without sufficient notice and/or agreement. Whoever convinced you to move up your time frame, did you a great disservice. That you allowed them to do so is an even greater disserivce to your own integrity. You made a committment, in writing, and broke it. I hope that in the future, when you set a time, you will abide by it. I am not saying that it was OK for any Paid subscriber to let others know for free either. It was not. Since I did not receive the emailed list, for what ever reason, I am assuming I have not and will not be billed. Sincerely, JD

unfortunately, it appears SOME of the paid subscribers perhaps spread the list all over the internet...why a PAID subscriber would do this is beyond me...but it's not JUST list, it's a FULL YEAR of analysis, updates and insights Sounds like you are losing touch with Internet users in your quest to focus on companies and investments. Everything you say is news now. All your updates and future picks will be spread around the Net as fast as a handful of subscribers decide to share them with their friends. Since you have ten stocks, you have ten enormous fan clubs that will shout to the rooftops every time you so much as wink in their direction. You only have to look at the number of Barrons and TSCM articles reprinted verbatim on SI to know the weakness of "paid for" info models on the Net. Only an extensive publication like Briefing.com or WSJ with value-added services can make money. It's fundamentally flawed and unlikely to draw nearly as many paying customers on 12/31/00.

<<why a PAID subscriber would do this is beyond me>> This is where I 100% agree with you. That type of stuff is just plain wrong for people to take YOUR WORK and paste it all of the net. If you would PM me I have a few thoughts as to how you could fix things with folks who feel chapped.

Steve: Those around the interenet are talking about another list from you for those stocks that just missed out being in the top ten. Any truth to this rumor?? If so, how can we receive a copy and for how much $? TIA

Steve I appreciated getting it early as a paid suscriber as it gave me ample time for research Johncwass@aol.com

C'mon Steve!!..as an "Internet guru", tell me you didn't think folks would diseeminate the list via the net the second it came out??!!...there are thousands of paid for services where readers reprint info on chatboards and the like ALL THE TIME!...to think otherwise would be an admission that you yourself may not understand the power and magnitude of the net...want to hear what I think?...I think that word started to leak out Thurs or so and rather than let word continue to leak over Fri plus the weekend, you broke your promise to your subscribers and made a scramble play to get the list out lest it be compromised all the more by Monday...further, to say, gee, its more than a list, its also analysis, updates, etc is BS...subscibers were promised a list ON A SPECIFIC DATE and this list is at the core of your offering and the date, which was obviously key in all this was compromised...again, I'm not a subscriber, but I think you owe your readers much more than this hollow response....first you blame Briefing.Com, then your own readers who posted the list...think its time to look in the mirror and fess up to the fact that there was a screwup and refund some or all the monies here.
