Thanks truth and levy...perhaps if any of the folks who are trying to trash GNET, for whatever reason....would instead contribute research material, or any number of other things that could be done, they would appear more intelligent. For instance, GNET has made several alliances this past year....some of them are noted on SI and GNET home pages under Marketplace....Has anyone really done any research on any of these? And have they reported back to the board their findings? My guess is that the question of branding might come up at the annual meeting....So until EVERYONE in the WORLD knows about GNET....at least EACH of us can do our part... How many of us are actively letting other individuals know WHY we like the GNET and/or SI sites.....??? I use MetaCrawler EVERY day in my business, and let others know about it, and WHY it can be of value for them. Yesterday, I talked to an artist in Oregon who has a small homepage to show her work (it's really good BTW), and she hasn't had too much success with others finding it. I suggested to her HyperMart.....and told her how to find it.... KLP

I have owned the stock since the IPO and I am up over 4000% in the past 3 years.... What does that say about Go2net today ? anything ? Most people are not in that same situation and I would venture to say do not care to hear things like that. What have you done for me lately is more fitting. answer = 0 0's don't add $'s to mine or anyone else's portfolio which I think is at the top of everyones list of concerns when buying a stock. jZ

Excuse me Truth, read it again! Hold the phone, buddy! That comment you are mistakenly attributing to me was a REPOST from a Yahoo! poster! I stated it plain as day this A.M. Sheesh!! I already explained that I agreed with the 99.9% part of the Shorties' post, and the underperformance relative to the thousands-of-points up nasdaq blast off. Not the fat and lazy part. I agree with you and Junior Balloon on that part. It is obviously frustrating though that all the hard work has not translated into rewards for us newer shareholders in the last year while less quality companies have stocks blasting off to the next galaxy and beyond. Perhaps another explanation why the "board has become pathetic, and quality posters no longer post" could be because they have 1) Already sold 2) Are dissapointed and are choosing not to state their displeasure about the stock price until it breaks either way or 3) They are actually waiting (and waiting, like for paint drying) for some industrial strength, powerful news with substance much more so than NDB or other relative unknowns in the public eye to get all hyped and jazzed about. Wireless, Broadband, something really major. "Stupid comments and dribble" sure don't make other posters go away on other tech threads. They simply ignore it, and post when they have some relevant comments or news on the company. There has been little news here, so little to post about. Since the earnings were out, the posts have declined definitely. Truthfully, Truth, if you were not up 4,000%, but down or near break even having bought last year while watching so many other internet and techs go up 4,000% since, would you perhaps not be in the mood to post much either like the other quality posters?
