I hope you are long they are blowing Iridium up. Though i would find a way to give it to a charity and use it as a deduction. I feel inside (Darleen female intuition), that cable will be it. I honestly think the encryption ability of closed air is a big plus.

Is asking a self-proclaimed expert on a company whether he is currently long the stock either stupid or not coherent? It's worse than stupid. It's being a stupid asshole. I proved why AOL and @Home compete, didn't I? You didn't prove anything except the assumptions you made. Even if you somehow still disagree that I answered your assertion, in the very least I addressed it. You have only addressed your own misunderstanding. That's always a sign of a loser. Which is the next assertion of yours that you would like me to address? Why don't you harass someone else? You haven't accomplished anything in all your posts but rehash dead issues proven false long ago. Even if that's true, which it isn't, Assering the truth of another assumption? Or is it your authority as an expert that you got from the experts on Yahoo. this is now the middle of 2000 in case you haven't checked in a while. That's two years, which is a very long time in the Internet world. Did you ever think that things have changed? For instance, ATHM did purchase Excite in the meantime. AOL is merging with TWX (and if you believe Case that he's merging with TWX for its content and not its distribution, then you're even more off base than I thought). Cablevision is essentially leaving the @Home fold. @Home is forming alliances overseas. Cable modems are now available for viewing in Circuit City stores and soon will be sold there. Oh blah blah blah. Get a life worm. This drivel won't make it here. As I said to you previously, I don't subscribe to this POS and I've probably read less than 5 articles total from it in my life. You don't have to. The reference was appropriate though. It represents the kind of superficial things you have expressed, all of which have been precisely the source of stupid mistakes made by management. The Excite purchase was done because a fool, Jermo, reacted to an imagined fear which has never surfaced and remains doubtful to surface. You can't see this and that fact as with the engineers at ATHM have put this company behind the eight ball. It's not a threat. It just has most of @Home's future customers. This is another presumption just like Eric's presumption that broadband will be THE thing in five years. You have linearly extrapolated, based on your weak and inadequate knowledge a future, which won't arrive. You can't make it in investing that way, especially not in tech. You and Solid feel that they will magically be drawn to the light of @Home. In spite of your claims to have followed this thread the assertions you are expressly false and prove you are a liar. I can't believe you said the above. Half the jerks here posting claim the exact opposite. I think it'll take a little more prodding. As E. correctly stated, it's a matter of time. 2 years or 10 years. In business, time is money (i.e., stock price). No. Time is never money. This is amateurthink. When anyone starts thinking in terms that time is money, they make mistakes like Jermo did. You continually prove that what you know comes from sing song and commercial ads, old expressions of ignorance, newspaper jingos, the entire spectrum of linguistic hodge podge that make you think you know something. Unlike you, right? You've only demonstrated how little you know the issues, the true issues, not the stereotyped crap that one gets from Street.com that is always worthless. Guys like you make me loud because you attacked me for no reason. You did it to show how smart and profound you were. When I didn't respond you heaped it on. You shouldn't have done that. Now I'm going kick your ass every time you show. You can bet on that, sucker.

Michael- Here's one for you. AOL is a future customer of ATHM. Why? How else will they roll out their content nationwide over BB? Their DSL roll out, to date, is a fiasco and it is looking like they will not even be able to keep RR in order to pass regulatory approval. They will be forced to run over the network that @Home has created. The terms for such carriage isn't set yet, but I'm reasonably sure that it will be. PS. As someone who has spent an enormous amount of time arguing points with Ah, I can give you this insight, if you've allowed yourself to get to the point where you are reacting to his posts on an emotional level, you've already lost the argument. Chill out and stop taking what he says personally. Hard to do, but well worth the effort.
