As you know full well yet pretend not to know, I didn't get the "NBMX" (or whatever) clue to work with until shortly before I left. That's when I started the search on SI using a Perl script. But whatever. Just believe what you want to believe.

BELLEVUE, Wash. (CBS.MW) - InfoSpace on Wednesday confirmed that it sold its SiliconInvestor.com Web site to a former employee of the online bulletin board service for an undisclosed amount Bob Zumbrunnen, a former Web site administrator for SiliconInvestor.com, is now running the Web site with three employees out of his office in Freeman, Mo. Zumbrunnen also runs a competing bulletin board service, Investors Hub. He plans to operate the two as separate businesses, although the sites will soon offer some of the same technical features. He declined to specify the purchase price, but said that he had been negotiating for several months for SiliconInvestor.com before finally taking control of it last Friday. "I can't say if it was making money for InfoSpace, but I do expect it to make money for me," said Zumbrunnen. Zumbrunnen worked at SiliconInvestor until February, 2001, when he was laid off along with about 250 people. In early 2002, he took over operations of Investors Hub. He said the two sites will soon have combined traffic of about 2 million page views per day. Despite the slack interest in the stock market among individual stock market investors that used to flock to such Web sites, Zumbrunnen said he can turn a profit at SiliconInvestor within a few months. "The Web site is not going be a no-brainer money maker any time soon, but it will survive to see another bull market and then I can reap the benefits of that," he said. InfoSpace (INSP: news, chart, profile) had assumed ownership of SiliconInvestor as part of its Oct. 12, 2000 purchase of Go2Net. InfoSpace spokesman Adam Whinston said the sale of SiliconInvestor is part of an effort by InfoSpace to focus on its core payment processing, search, directory and wireless businesses.

>>Matt sure knew all about him through their common buddy goelo. He knew his user name. They met on rb with goelo. LOL! Woman, you can't get anything right. This isn't even remotely close to being accurate, yet, you present it as fact without any hesitation or the first "IMO". I'm beginning to wonder if you can even figure out when to celebrate your own birthday. Keep posting though. You are far beyond anybody here taking you seriously. You really should write a book on the Matt/Bob/IH/SI/MF topic. Your version is way more entertaining than what really went on. Edit: I know I said I wouldn't correct/verify, and I haven't, but this is just getting to be too funny. Is this what being a celebrity is like?! Is the Star next? People?!
