Mr. Casolo, exchange2000.com To: Paul Casolo (7580 ) From: Ken Todd Wednesday, Apr 8 1998 7:53PM ET Reply # of 7762 Paul, I vaguely remember your telephone calls. I was thrust into a position of taking calls from people Mo or Mike didn't want to talk to. Initially I would try to find out what the caller wanted, and convey this to Mike. Mike would constantly promise me he would call them back. Mohamed said that "just because someone had his phone number didn't mean he was obligated to talk to them." If I hung up on you, it was probably because you had already been avoided using your real name. I don't recall this, but I don't doubt it happened. I was in a "no win" situation. If I spoke with Investors and gave them any answer, it was automatically the wrong one. If I didn't take the calls shunned by Mike and Mohamed, I was doing wrong. If I told Mike someone had called and he said "I will talk to them within the next 15 minutes"--and never did--I was the one who had to answer for it, as I had relayed Mike's promise. {Mark Rutheiser--for one-- can attest to the times he phoned, was promised a return call from Mike by me, and it never happened. Finally, Paul I more than likely read your post where you called me an SOB. I took that insult, personally, and most likely put you on the bottom of the list in terms of people to whom I would talk. Ken Todd P. S. I do remember the period of time when people were trying to obtain the number for the buying group. We were under strict instructions from Mike Rehtorik not to reveal anything about the group other than that which had appeared in the press release. So, here I was fronting hundreds of calls each day and couldn't give them an answer; Jeff Silverman, on the other hand, was allowed to "leak" confirmation after conversing with Mike.
