Ha ha, reminds me of an anti-Tori-Spelling site when "Tori herself" came on to defend herself. Then an argument ensued about whether it was really her. Of course it wasn't!

Speaking of arguments, here's a good one:

Why the Open Directory Isn't Open
traffick.com

(I think Excite has its own directory and does not use the ODP. AOL does use the ODP - owns it actually.)

"Is this really Steve Case?"

IMO the answer is yes. I believe there is a great deal of truth in what he had to say in the following post.

<<< Why are people shorting athm?

21% of the float is short while companies like Covad Communications have a market cap of $9+ billion and they have only 4000 broadband customers. Athm has 1.15 million broadband customers and the #5 portal and has a market cap of only $11 billion.

Could it be that the people shorting ATHM hate the company because ATHM was/is a huge threat to AOL? Could it be that Wallstreet can't afford AOL to fail and they have to hold down ATHM as long as possible?

Holding ATHM stock price down will not slow down the company very much. It will only prevented ATHM for acquiring other companies.

ATHM will soon emerge as the biggest play in the market. Just waiting for the M1 merger with T. If you are still short when the merger is finalized you will soon be broke.

I suspect there are many CEO's who post on message boards. They are people with interests like the rest of us. I know that the CEO of CMGI posts on Raging Bull.
