Well at least you read it. So we canna post on your GATA thread, laddie. (sniff!) Ye canna dominate the hegemony, by bein' the only thorn in the Rosebed, me froolick. Read the history of the Well. That was the first nation wide message posting thread service in the world, pre-Internet. San Francisco. Dial up. (Wired Magazine.) 80,000 subcribers. What made The Well the success it was? Why did people keep coming back to the well? What were its rules? Hint: Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas would have liked the Well. What did the owner of the Well realize was his commodity he was selling? Did the Well make money? Why? Does anyone remember Bell I-net? It was dial up and had news, newspaper searches, stock quotes and the like. It was a local number, at 2400 baud. In many ways it was more useful and quicker than the internet for info. Stock quotes were from a New York company that still refuses to go into the Internet. All-Quotes. Better than Star Quote or Interquote for my money. Asia Spot Gold 291.20 291.70 -1.70 -0.58% EC<:-}
