Your a patent attorney, right? I must tell you that "railing" against RRRR in the early days would be like warning people not to invest in Penn-Central Railroad. RRRR seems to be like one of 10,000 companies that tried to copy David Weatherall(sp?) and CMGI five years AFTER CMGI. That's roughly the equivalent of inventing and trying to sell Hula-Hoop II, a hula hoop with a whistle in it that whistles when in spins, but withholding the product from the market until after Hula hoop stops selling. Even you must admit that your "railing against RRRR" was not exactly rocket science. And I must hasten to add that if SBC had given RRRR a year of their income, that's 44 Billion dollars, they still would not have made it. Although, come to think of it, imagine how many copies of "Front Page"* they could have bought. :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) * Chuck, "Front Page" is a Microsoft Program that creates websites like RRRR promised to do in their advertising, but costs $43.27. __________________________________ I was railing (including on Silicon Investor) against RRRR -- a publicly traded website developer, and funder of dot.coms -- BEFORE it zoomed up to 90. Of course it since sank, did a reverse split, and sank again. It was always obvious to me the dot.com thing was phony. And you're blaming their failure of RBOCS?!?
