I bought iVillage last year because I like the female demographics, which are the most sought-after by advertisers. I thought it had a shot similar to Lifetime TV. It just never captured enough critical mass.

When discussing his purchase of iVillage, William said something like "I like women, especially smart women." Since he denied making this statement, he must have forgotten, or was joking and have forgotten. William is honorable man, he will not deny having said it, if he can remember.

I remember, because I remember shaking my head when I read his statement. I think it was around late spring to early summer,1999. I shaked my head, because the statement represents the epitomy of equity mania, especially coming from one whom I respect,. Same statement from most of SI posters will not even catch my attention. I too "like women, especially smart women", (adoration is a more accurate description). But I would not have bought iVillage based on that.
