Forgot to look if the XXXX thread is still bookmarked, oh well. I still don't have Cable, so will have to wait and read about it on the threads. Comforting to know if there's a report here on Techride it'll be accurate, while what's on GNET thread could be misconstrued and exaggerated. Those names Mark Haines is getting called are straight off the playground alrite. Not to say a kid with the business experience of a running a lemonade stand wouldn't grok how much of that trashtalk on the stock's own thread isn't coming from anyone wanting GNET to go up in share price from here (Howja like that triple negative revving-up the old noodle? Thangyew, Thangyewverramuch) So now they're setting their alarm clocks for The Match already - stamping the bleachers and hollering and hooting like it's a pep rally before The Playoffs. Is that how actual shareowners would be talking? Wouldn't think so, but then again I sometimes had my own lemonade stand growing up in simpler times, so who am I to judge. testing ...however things go on CNBC when Mark Haines interviews Russell Horowitz tomorrow, watch which posts on GNET say what about it ....testing. Ya know, maybe it hasn't been a bad stock to option both ways at the same time if thinking the market might be on its last legs but not sure - GUH-HYUK - if direction doesn't matter but predictable volatility inside a contained range within a certain timeframe is ideal. With this one, paying more for the laxer deadline would've been a waste of money. When it goes outside it's pattern by too much up or down it'll upset the applecart - uh-oh. But til then it's the old whack and pump, whack and pump, whack and pump for awhile now on all it's boards (not just here) - it's been a real yawn. Makes the stock a safer bet to hedge that way though - might even beat the interest rates on a CD by a few points. Almost gotta hand it to anyone dealing with the repetition and playing it to the edge like that. Almost. But to work so hard and risk so much - when it's easier and nets more to simply bet to the upside and quack shares sometimes when the mood & opportunity presents ... in stocks, an aversion to math can be a strength, not a flaw! That board talk makes sense though - anyone borrowing the use of someone else's shares wouldn't want anyone to ever sell 'em - cuz hey, who knows who might be loaning the shares & might sell it on the wrong day, ifuknowwhatimean. But don't get too excited about it, either. So it's walking a finer line as time goes on now, bronco-busting of a powerful internet stock so way overdue for a bottlerocket - gotta give 'em SOME credit for moxie. But they sure don't speak for me - as a shareOWNER I have nothing to say except - still got some GNET, but not near as much as I once did. It's fine for a short-term (on the main radar screen) long. But it ain't ATT, or Microsoft, or Yahoo. A good start would be a Clearer Direction - next step - top-rate visual and software designers. And I'm still waiting for SI and Go2net to come up on my pocketpal Sprint wireless internet/phone minibrowser one of these days. Can't access it yet - though Palm is a good start. And no more acquisitions pre-destined to obsolete themselves or inspire competition with it's own self before anything's done with them - news of another one hardly even moves the stock but a notch last few times - no more of these would be a timely move about now. But match that trivia to the good content inherent in Go2net, the earnings still rare with Internets, and the assemblage and synergy possibilities with Paul Allen's holdings and doings - these realities and possibilities still outweigh the present negatives by much IMHO. And Russell might BLOW IT RIGHT OFF THE MAP tomorrow on CNBC. Thinking Positive - March isn't over yet. 909S2ALL, JOANA

As usual Blue, your post in inaccurate.......Mark Haines and the $90 number for GNET was pre-split......the stock has doubled from that level. In addition, Mark Haines is ALWAYS rude to the new economy guys that are young, and Russ doesn't deserve that treatment based on results. If Russ is going to subject himself to that abrasive idiot(Haines), there must be a GREAT reason, my guess is the Hypermart B2B end to end solution. I won't get into a debate with you, I am just pointing out the facts. Mark Haines insults his guests and if you can't take the loyal GNET shareholders defending Russ........then its your problem.
