Dearest CNBC, the next time you mention an internet play, probably a good idea might be to give the stock symbol of the company (if publicly traded) as well as the company's acronym. One of your reporters mentioned UAL's stake in "ITN", which stands for "Internet Travel Network". ITN is also the symbol for InterTAN, which is for all intents and purposes - Radio Shack. If Radio Shack, an electronics retailer, has a division that's out there building web-based reservation systems, that's news to me. If they don't, unfortunately, that may news to the folks who punched ITN from 6 1/8 to an intraday high of 7 1/8 following your broadcast, which based on my cursory look at ITN (the stock symbol representing the holding company of Tandy & Radio Shack) appears to be more than a little misleading.
