It's deterioration i'm talking about, not change. Change is quite welcome, SI itself was a great change for me, it was my introduction to the internet, in fact i bought this my first computer after a friend showed me Canada Stockwatch, Adrian du Plessis' Big Top Sideshow and Midway, and SI ... when i got it home and figured out how to hook it up, lol, i made the subjects page the browser home page. Last night go2net couldn't find that page, i have no hope of them ever finding it [no biggie, check my bio for the new one], and sorry but i regard that as one more of the abundant signs of deterioration.

"Incedently, you say that you are shorting this stock ?"

I have never shorted a stock ever, don't at this point have an account set up for it. But yes i am intrigued by the possibility for profit here, and gnet may be the first ... i am however fully invested in various tse and cdnx momo puppies du jour, so it would take some adjusting, i would likely miss the tank on open in the morning.

"I have never before heard of a profesional investor short a stock because they are unhappy with the quality of product."

You got to be kidding. What is a company without a quality product?
If you can't sell the people what they want, they won't buy it.
When they don't buy it, you don't make any money.
Don't make any money, the stock she go down.
Pretty simple concept here, i should think.

And yes i know they have other sites. What they don't have is my confidence, now that i've seen how they've treated SI. But hey - good luck pumping that paper ... cheers
