Mr. Marcos, If you do not like the new S.I. this much then go to Motley Fool, Raging Bull, cnbc or whatever. See if you like those sites better. I have tried them before and i do not like them, but thats my preference. The reason they made the changes is to attract thousands of new users in the future not a handful of people like yourself who like technology that does not change with the times. We all know how fast the development of the internet is moving and competition is moving even faster. Companies such as go2net have to constantly change and upgrade to be succesful. Or else find themselves lost in the shuffle. Through the deals with broadband partners and ndb.com, as well as others, S.I. should attract thousands more members in the near future. Also keep in mind that S.I. still has something that seperates it from the pack. It is marketed as a place for the Smart/Intelligent Investor. Everyone who comes here knows they can always have intelligent and meaningful discussions. S.I. will always have that reputation so long as they keep the rules and membership requirements the same. We all know that quality of posts is not the same at ANY other message board. The other players are all competiting for the same group of investors, or in most cases, jokers and god knows who these people are on yahoo and the rest. Point being, NOTHING SEPERATES THEM ! When I come here I know people are taking there investments seriously because they paid a price to get through the door. Incedently, you say that you are shorting this stock ? I have never before heard of a profesional investor short a stock because they are unhappy with the quality of product as a user. Technical reasons ? Decline in revenue growth ? Revised earnings numbers ? maybe, but that isnt likely the case for you since you have only been discussing Silicon Investor. Silicon Investor is part of a network of sites, investments, etc.. that make up the bottom line. They do not rely exclusively on membership fee's for Revenues. I seriously doubt you are shorting this stock. Just blowing steam about the old S.I. which is boring and lifeless in comparison.... jZ
