I don't think fundamentals will catch up to the stock price, but it may take a market decline to reprice the stock. Barry, I really do not know. I hope your correct since that will make me money. I do believe the market decline has begun. I think the stock price is walking a tightrope at this point. Lose subscribers and it gets killed. Increased users or per capita usage and AOL's costs will increase faster than proportionately, creating service issues that will kill the stock. It's a delicate balancing act. Advertising revenues must grow at a phenomenal rate for this balancing act to continue, IMO. My conclusion is the advertising revenues is the key. I am not sure if the market will be as large as the analysts indicate. Glenn
