Hi Johanna! great idea! Why don't you also write one [or one of your friends at Barron's] on why/how is AOL tampering with their SEC fillings in items such as revenue recognition, capitalization of costs, changes in accounting principles conviniently started in 1/98 but will be retroactive to 7/97, and more. Our guess is that investors [including some pretty big guys] don't read this fillings carefully. The posts by Todd Daniels are as good and deep an analysis as you will find anywhere in WS. A link to and one of his posts: interactive.wsj.com you can read more by clicking on his name. I am not an expert on AOL but some of my analysis may also be interesting... Message 3472237 and the continuation: techstocks.com As far as I know MCI has a great deal (14.95 for its long distance customers) but is not making much noise about it. I guess they are waiting until the WCOM deal goes through to really go heavy with it (they may be afraid the Justice Dept. may jump on them). Pancho
