Are you suggesting the venerable Bluestone Capital, founded in 1996, doesn't have the same influence or prestige of, say, a Goldman Sachs? <vbg> Yep. :)) And more to the point of TheStreet.com's article, I'm suggesting our Pulitzer-prize-winning journalist (not) Mr. Moritz, may have been exaggerating the credentials of his source, Susan Kallas. She's ended up at BlueStone Capital, an institution with a string of IPOs trading in pennies and with balance sheets that make anyone above room-temp IQ want to say, "Well, whatthehell did you expect????" So I'm wondering what exactly this "engineering geek" did at GTE. Is "engineering geek" an engineer or is it someone who answers phones at a company chock-a-block with engineers? And when he says she was a "research analyst" at Northern Business Solutions (now part of the Gartner Group), was she really a research assistant, i.e., someone who analyzes information, or was she merely someone who gathers the information. You know, like the guy who chops onions for Wolfgang Puck. I'm so impressed with his description, I'd honestly like to meet her. I don't know anyone who "keeps in close contact with the 15 or 20 network engineers who control the industry's purse strings." That's a pretty amazing claim. Come to think of it, how many engineers do you know who control anyone's purse strings? Kalla, a recovering GTE engineering geek, speaks proficient networkese and keeps in close contact with the 15 to 20 top network engineers who control the industry's purse strings. Kalla's roots are in market research. She was formerly a research analyst at Northern Business Solutions, now part of the Gartner Group. Once again Mr. Moritz has proven himself a shoot-from-the-hip hack who will go to any length to make his point. Whatever happened to honest journalism? Pat
