BTW Frank, This is also in the South China Morning News. Thanks again. Have any other sites? Why dont you post the URL's "Momentum created and owns shares in AsiaFocus International, which owns PINmail. The service was launched last week in Hong Kong and provides an e-mail address accessed from a Web site." "Hong Kong advertising agency Momentum has created an anonymous e-mail service for Internet users around the world. Director Anthony Tobin said the service would act like a post office box, protecting anonymity. This form of confidentiality, inevitably raises issues of privacy and censorship. A Finnish Internet service offering anonymous e-mail was closed down recently because it was perceived to be condoning child pornography. Mr Tobin said PINmail (http://www. PINmail.com) was designed as an offshore address only for legitimate businesses, but the company could not necessarily control its users. 'We are very different from the Finnish site, which was cumbersome, slow and free,' Mr Tobin said. 'We also have a very different view of confidentiality. The guy in Finland said he would defend his users' confidentiality to the hilt. If there is proof of illegal activities, I would give up a name.' Momentum created and owns shares in AsiaFocus International, which owns PINmail. The service was launched last week in Hong Kong and provides an e-mail address accessed from a Web site. Unlike usual e-mail software, PINmail is not downloaded on to a user's hardware, but sits at a server site and can be accessed using Netscape 3.0. Momentum's general manager, Graham Daley, designed the program using a combination of CGI, an industry standard, and Javascript. He said because of inconsistencies between Netscape's and Internet Explorer's use of Javascript, the Microsoft version was delayed and is now due out before December. 'There are really no disadvantages to having your e-mail sit on a server rather than your PC,' he said. 'In many ways it's an advantage because you can access your e-mail from any site in the world as long as you are using the correct browser.' PINmail can also allow you to maintain an anonymous address. Momentum has set up three server sites in Hong Kong, California and Amsterdam to enable easier and more efficient access. PINmail costs US$19.95 a year.' And it is of course, for pinheads.

Frank, frankly Ziasun bores the hell out of me. They've done the same crap for over a year, if they have something toutable, they put out multiple pr's to milk it for all they can, if they have something bad, they cover over it anyway they can. They are forever promising this or that, be it directly in a PR, or through you and other one thread wonders that pass on managements latest hype, but of course it's few and far between when any of it actually comes true. They are perennially late with their financials and anything they do let out is usually done in a non-standard way to cover up something bad. So why should I stick around and be bored this way? Well really I have no choice, since they are foolish enough to persist in their groundless lawsuit against me. As long as that's ongoing I must be ever vigilant in watching and documenting the scummy things that they do, though I will admit I have been more lax lately since I know the powers that be have their eye on things.
