HO-MEE, I am, and I assume many others are saddened by your decision not to post on this thread again, but I am certain you came to your conclusion for good and sufficient reasons. Your generous, intelligent and informed contributions were and are appreciated. We were fortunate to have you here for as long as we did. Good luck to you, always. And please feel free to return whenever it suits you, even to just pass the time of day and tell us that things are going well for you. Sy

NO Homee, You can't leave us...what are you talking about? You're our source, our mentor, our Obie Won...no one can fill your shoes...why are you talking about leaving us? Would it help if we all begged you to stay? Will you come back and visit from time to time? Don't go......

Thanks to you Ho-Mee in so many ways...BUT, if you do that, how can this happen: Message 14186235 If we change the family thread name to InfoRuss, will you change your mind? If you don't, we will all surely miss you, and all the help you've shared....And again, my guess is the board isn't "dead"....Who was it that said "Build a good house, and they will come" (just a little change of words)....well, INSP aka InfoRuss is just that, a good house..... Best, KLP

HO-MEE, you DO have NO HEART... Unless you meant by your post "I am done posting on this thread...", just for the rest of TODAY ONLY, as you were off to bed...or something? Although I have barely gotten to know personally, I have truly appreciated everything you have had to say on this thread. I realize that in the "good-old-days" of our beloved GNET, there would have been hundreds of posts today (and tonight) on this thread, with the incredibly great "earnings" news that came out today. PROFITS for an Internet company, which has over 1/2 billion in CASH (and equity securities)...and NO short OR long-term debt. Does it get any better than that??? And despite what some "shorts" might think, I believe they'll be providing a hll of a lot more than just horoscopes for the world, in the many years to come. <VBG> Perhaps our "thread spirit" will someday return, once we get back to somewhere near our old "highs" (and we get Russ & John back doing the interviews). Let's face it, It's been an incredibly crummy year in the stock market, especially for many of us "long-term" investors. Thanks in part to the big "FOUR E's" this year (Energy, Earnings, Euro, & Elections). Heck, many years ago (when I first started exploring investing in "stocks") all I needed to know about the stock market was, "buy Microsoft." I generally only checked my "single" stock portfolio <g> (MSFT), about once a year. Virtually every year it had at least doubled, and usually had yet another 2:1 (or 3:2) stock split. And I would say, "That's cool," then I'd buy some more... and check it again, a year later. The times, they have a-changed, and the world of "investing" (and/or "trading") in the stock market has become much more complex since those days...at least for me. I think the Internet has played a big part in that change. Thanks to people like you who have played a very integral roll in the incredibly eclectic mix of "investors" (you know who I mean) that have come together on this thread (and a few other threads with such "quality" posters) over the past few years, all intrigued by what this wonderful little company called Go2Net was going to do next...to perhaps change the world forever. Many of us are much better off, thanks to your efforts. Especially those of us who still have a "day" job. <g> It was a truly GREAT day today for our (GNET) INSP. I was gone all day in meetings. Just after noon, I was with a client who was thinking about making a major investment in the stock market. I told him that if he puts just $1 million into INSP before today's close, I felt he could make at least $100,000 by early tomorrow morning. Turns out, it may be closer to $200,000...or more. Hope he took my advice. :) Personally, my only "investment" today, was to buy $20 worth of Washington State LOTO tickets (first time for me to throw money away like that in over 10 years), as the winner gets $32 million (over $900K per yr., for 20 yrs.). They have already done the drawing tonight, but I haven't checked my numbers yet. If I win, I promise to still occasionally post on this thread...although the thought of paying all those friggin taxes does really pss me off. However, I'll need thoughtful "investment" insight from people like you, as I'll have to put it somewhere.<g> Roger :) PS. Do you remember my INSP "earnings" profit prediction a few days ago, of $.03-.05/share? I'm sure you figured it out also. How much to they pay these d*mn "professional" analysts, anyway? What a big joke they often turn out to be. But that's all part of the "Wall Street Game," I guess! A simple "right-brained" architect can beat them at their own game. Amazing! :)

Now, don't let this all go to your head! On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give your posts perhaps a 7 1/2 average (maybe an 8 on your "best" days). <ggg> But heck, I'm not even sure our beloved "new" levy would get this many sympathy cards, when he finally leaves................if ever! <VBG> Roger :) PS. Just remember (as Russ always said), it's the PROFITS, PROFITS, PROFITS...stupid!!! <g>

Some of you may recall that infospace bought INEX last year.......a business building site ......well INEX relaunched as INEX inc but not by Infospace but rather the top brass of the the old INEX and its key employees....very strange deal here......not sure how these guys can do this......are they affiliated with infospace??? I don't think so.........are they paying infospace??? you would think so but there is no mention of that anywhere in any recent infospace news or on the new inex website........not sure what is going on here....sounds like some high level wheeling and dealing....stock holders should be filled in on this before this stuff happens I would think. inex.com inex.com
