Call me foolish, but I happen to believe that the largest motivation in the ATHM/EXCITE merger was cash for insider pockets. Correct me if I'm wrong but Perko launched both businesses, then sells one to the other for a huge premium and TJ takes an enormous (I cant remember the sum) one time fee for putting the deal together. I bought the stock for its ability to deliver high speed internet access across cable lines, and all the exciting additional benefits the fat pipe could provide to the online experience. I think a lot of real rookie mistakes have been made here, primarily by emphasising Excite's sad business model over ATHM's and the street didn't buy it for a minute. If we are seeing a return of focus back to what ATHM actually does best, providing that fast broadband access, maybe we have a chance to pull out of this tailspin of woe.

Looks like your down 30% since your rebuttal. Looks like your boat sprang a leak... The violinist is still playing...but.. Just a matter of time till it cracks in two ? === Message #23174 from ahhaha at Jun 17, 2000 8:45 PM Was, my boy, was. Don't make the mistake of believing your own hype. There is one person on this planet who is qualified to criticize ATHM and that is me. My criticisms are directed exclusively to the past. They're turning the boat around so you are advised to get off of my cloud and off of their backs. Like KW said, we know the negatives, we know, and so do you. The challenge for you is to find and assert the positives so you will be in a proper frame of mind to benefit when the boat grows wings.
