No it is not a coincidence. It is a result of Gilder Gagnon and Howe's close allegiance to my paradigm. I discussed Avanex in earlier GTRs. I visited Gilder Gagnon during a New York trip about two months ago; I probably mentioned Avanex then, though my current enthusiasm developed over the subsequent months. I have no money invested with Gilder, or any family connection whatsoever. But David Howe has come to all our telecosm conferences and Richard Gilder is an ally on supply side economics. He also shares my father's name and my son's name. Life is like that. A sociologist expounded the theory of six degrees of separation: six links can interconnect any two people on earth. I have several links with Gilder Gagnon but absolutely no financial connection to this excellent company. --GG

Had A&Pers done research on GG, you would have known GILDER, GAGNON, HOWE & CO. is no way related to this George Gilder. For some reason there is always an assumption that George is related to every Gilder in the phone book. However, imho, when people have set out to smear someone or impugn another individual's reputation, they cannot afford to "assume" anything but had better have their facts straight. Now that GG has responded to your insider holding question on AVNX, to persist in a smear campaign on this issue does not to enhance your credibility or intent of purpose. It is now Anthony and his followers turn to answer some questions. I want to know how many companies your group has targeted and and how many of these companies were wrongly accused of wrongdoing by Anthony/Pluvia/ . This is a simple question of which I would like a number and the names of these companies. Naturally we expect as timely a response as GG gave you, and we expect you to be equally as forthcoming.
