stitch, * non DD * GNET did very well today at 6 times normal volume - unlike AOL, YHOO and XCIT. I think it is because SI members bought GNET as soon as they heard SI was being acquired. (One member said he did, without doing research, because 'any friend of SI is a friend of his') quote.yahoo.com We'll have to wait a while to see whether SI will be left alone. Promises of non-interference are commonly broken after acquisitions such as these. From the Go2Net announcement.... <snip> The acquisition will allow go2net to create one of the largest online communities in a highly desirable demographic category and provide advertisers with a greater inventory of targeted advertising opportunities.<snip> biz.yahoo.com We're part of that inventory.<G> GM Tucker and Lady are fine, arf.

<I do not think serious investors (with serious contributions to make) <are put off by the subscription fees. Wrong, I am against fees or adverts of any kind applied to me :o) You have to stand in some awe of this business though. Who would have thought that the brothers could have sold my tenuous relationship with them for $33 bucks. Am I worth so paltry a sum? Am I worth so monstrous a sum? How many adverts must I click to recover the investment? Say its a penny a piece....that is 3,300 clicks I got to make. Now how many do I have to look at in order to find 3,300 worth clicking? Its a mad mad world out there!!! Best Regards......Tom
