To: corstrat who wrote (248 ) 6/13/2002 1:11:01 PM From: PartyTime Respond to of 308 When I think of long term business plans for VNWC, even though I hate to disappoint the MultipleAliasOne (presently posting as NoBusinessWire.com), I don't think of Rene Hammouth whose filed an SEC form stating an intention to buy as many VNWC shares as possible in the open market. I think about Moneyline Telerate which now owns 55 percent of VNWC and controls its board of directors: "Moneyline Telerate is a leading global provider of integrated real-time information and transaction services to the capital markets. With the world's premier benchmark fixed-income content, IP based distribution platform and transaction systems, Moneyline Telerate provides financial services firms with cost-effective, flexible methods for using content to drive investment decisions and order flow across new and existing electronic channels. The firm, established in 1998, is headquartered in New York City. One Equity Partners, the New York-based private equity arm of Bank One Corporation, sponsored the transaction. One Equity Partners has $3 1/2 billion under management. Other shareholders include Japan's QUICK Corp. For further information about Moneyline Telerate, please visit www.moneyline.com." moneyline.com The only connection I'm able to make regarding NoBusinessWire's insistence on publishing anti-Hammouth information on this site, is that Hammouth is behaving like all of the Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, abortionists, anti-abortionists, gun freaks, non-gun freaks, hippies, poets, priests and policemen and soccer moms who, among others, are all buying VNWC shares in the open market. So Hammouth, it seems, is a controversial businessman who also is buying. Isn't the fact that One Equity Partners, Bank One Corp, Japan's QUICK Corp and Moneyline Teletrate, together, are the primary owners of the company more important? I think so!
