IN POST 5553, BRADYB SAID: "Guys, I think we've done as much digging as possible without getting G. Gordon Liddy and the rest of the Watergate bunch involved. I really don't think anyone wants to hire a private detective etc. etc. So, all we can do is wait. Hold and wait or sit on the fence and wait." ON MARCH 13, PR NEWSWIRE SAID: "Two Softbank Executives Resign El SEGUNDO, Calif., March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Effective immediately, Lawrence P. Howorth, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Edward F. West, Executive Vice President of Development of SOFTBANK Interactive Marketing Inc. (SIM), have each resigned their positions as officers, members of the board of directors, and executive managers and employees of SIM." SO I VENTURE A SMALL SUGGESTION FOR A LEFT COASTER: It appears that, unlike "Meat-chem" (who was so tenderized that he fled back to Oz, a very long call away indeed!), these two guys, who "resigned" it is said "for personal reasons" are right in somebody's backyard (not mine). Perhaps if one of you gave them a call, they might find a loose lip or two willing to prattle about non-confidential matters in a non-libelous sort of way. For instance, directory databases, such asabii.com show this data for some California Howorth's and West's (where was Softbank anyway? Perhaps some other state would be better to search): Lawrence Howorth Long Beach, CA 90802 (562) 494-2795 or Lawrence Howorth Walnut , CA 91789 (909) 444-0073 or Edward F West Placerville, CA 95667 (209) 267-0401 or Edward F West 22 Venado Dr, Blvdr Tiburon, CA 94920-1626(415) 435-5638 or 23 Edward West's or 185 E. West's at which point it gets a bit silly. But I would think the Howorth listings might bear fruit, and could lead to the right West. Anyone live out that way? I hope you share what you find. If I had $$ in, I'd invest in the call myself. However, just trying to get the info level up to balance the fun sniping. Circling P.S. If anyone has read this far and is still paying attention, how do you BOLD a portion of text? I saw the tech-savvy Aleta do it a while back, and immediately suffered an envy cramp <(;-)
