I thought Ron's post was somewhat complimentary to Ah. A Clown does not seem to be that much different from a Patzer. As far as ganging up goes, If you want to see how other's gang up, read this link (in the link). siliconinvestor.com The absurdness of Ah as a pie baking grandmother negates any possibility of malice. On a more on topic note, I think the work.com news will be positive for the stock. Will it be a huge revenue generating machine, I guess that depends on what they do with it. Maybe TJ can run it... Regards Jay

Three kids ganging up on one isn't fair right Mark? Not if the one was a lot bigger and a lot meaner! Lighten up, ok? Nobody is ganging up on anybody. Look closer- its our odd little version of affection. ----- Frank Z did find some serious news: In essence ATHM is going to IPO work.com. With any other company this would be HUGE news. Maybe even an overnight 50% pop. Here- who knows- a yawn? I'll be asking some daytraders their opinion- let you all know if I get anything. Eric Excite@Home, Dow Jones plan portal, IPO The company will develop a Web portal designed for small and medium-sized businesses and is expected to file to sell a minority stake in an initial public stock offering, according to sources familiar with the plans. The site, also expected to debut this year, will keep the name of the business portal launched by Excite@Home last fall, Work.com. Excite@Home, a high-speed Net access and content company, and financial information firm Dow Jones, publisher of The Wall Street Journal, will each own 50 percent of Work.com, sources say. They will also have an equal number of members on the board of directors, according to sources. Quote Snapshot The partnership is the latest in a series of spin-off plans for Excite@Home. The company plans to issue a tracking stock for its content and portal properties in August. Moreover, the venture reflects the continued boom in business-to-business services. Many analysts and executives believe that the small and mid-sized business market represents a huge untapped opportunity for Net-related companies. Dow Jones and Excite@Home have individually tried to target the business market with Web portals just as interest in the small- and mid-sized business space has reached a crescendo. Dowjones.com, a small business portal, launched last summer, and Excite@Home announced its business site in September. Scores of so-called application service providers (ASPs) and networking companies are also scrambling to make headway with small businesses. Even the major business software makers have tried their hand at the business portal idea. SAP, a software provider for large corporations, operates the MySAP.com portal, and Oracle has similar aspirations. The spin-off strategy is not new for Excite@Home. After months of internal bickering amongst its major cable partners, Excite@Home announced that it would create a tracking stock for its media and content assets. The move came just as tracking stocks appeared to become in vogue. For example, AT&T decided to spin off its wireless assets as a tracking stock, and Disney's Go.com became a tracking stock late last year. Speculation has swirled for months that Microsoft might consider a similar strategy for some of its assets

"Three kids ganging up on one isn't fair right Mark?" Now, Darleen. There's always someone on the playground that's got to go rat to the duty supervisor. Eric was right, Ah is a lot bigger and meaner. You don't know how many times Ah has stolen our 4-square balls and thrown snowballs at us with our backs turned. We're just look'n out for ourselves! If you go rat again, I'm going to stick your ponytail in an ink well. You'd better watch out! This stock has suffered so much that this thread needs a little humor. There is no better band-aid. I never meant to hurt Ah with our jok'n, and I don't believe we did. Like Eric said, we have a sort of peculiar affection for our dear Ah. That much should be obvious. Maybe this is a "guy thing." Have a good day! Ed
