As your thread leader, let me remind you that excite is creating new value added features. In order to differentiate themselves within the portal place, and to facilitate distribution of their brand. Blue Mountain is being incorporated into excite's portal place, and hence forth, will be known as Blue Crystals. The marketing slogan will be: "Blue Crystals you have them, don't you?" This is part of an aggressive corporate strategy to further build and maintain commerce throughout the entire excite principle portal place. The new strategy for Blue Mount.. er, Crystals, is the first contribution from Kris Plumber, the former head of excite's random initiative search division (recently closed), in his/her new role as head of excites consumer commerce division, otherwise known as "click me". I trust this will be the first of many new ideas from the office of Kris Plumber, formerly a brilliant detergent salesperson. As you may know, revenue at the portal has flagged recently due to a misguided concentration on BB subscriber growth. Kris assures us, this will change. Plumber earned a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in Dysfunctional Organizational Behavior from Stanford University. An ATHM employee, contacted at random, when told of the new strategy said, "great", as he/she went off to meet his/her Oracle pals for brunch at the Pacific Athletic Club.

"The government might be worried that the ATHM distribution coupled with the compelling Excite content will stifle other web content." Hi KB- That was a good one. Did you hear me laughing all the way from IA? <g> Yikes, it doesn't take much of a drop now for ATHM to lose 8%. We are getting closer to zero all the time. Hey, you don't think they'll suggest a reverse split do you? Such as 1 for 5? Besides, what does management care? I doubt they have any shares left.<g> Ed
