REGARDING PRONETLINK (PNLK):Learning to read between the Lines..... From Chatfield Dean & Co. "....Based on a recent stock price of $8.00 and 37,849,500 shares outstanding (of which only 7,749,500 are free trading), the Company has a current market capitalization (value) of approximately $300 million. We asked the Company to disclose who owned the remaining 30,100,000 shares and they responded that they were not required to disclose that information...." 1). Based on value of held shares @$8.00 ...this company is a $300,000,000.000 Company ALREADY. 2). Company would not disclose who owns remaining 30,100,000.00 a).. PNLK doesn't have to. b). Big name and institutional holders of shares do not want their names disclosed until they have accumulated as many shares as they can. Plus if certain names are associated with PNLK...the price will run up too quickly, and thus institutions will have no opportunities to get shares at better values. 3). Chatfield Dean & Co aren't criminals...THEY ARE JUST STUPID! Based on the above points, the following is probably the reason to account for the volatility: Big name investors and institutions heard and got into PNLK after the price had already moved up. Consequently "the people with money" drove the prices down so that they could accumulate mores shares. Nothing I said or Tmex said or whomever else said aside from Glenn Z...could counteract or instigate the arbitrage activity. To believe so would be delusion and vain. My "Thesis" is based on many conversations with "money people" who hadn't heard of PNLK until I mentioned this issue to them. But when they heard, you should have seen their EARS PERK UP! (I was in initially at 1.5, I'm averaged in at about 2.75 for 35,000.shares). Hopefully they accumulated enough shares, and therefore Monday will have little or no downside. I'm actually cautiously optimistic for Monday.. Hope no goof balls try to raise issues about the non "delay", pseudo stock detective work, et cetera. Anyway that is just MY POINT OF VIEW..... Take it with a grain of salt ztect

AGAIN,REPEAT POST REGARDING ProNetLink PNLK...P..N..L..K... Copy of Letter to "Stock Detective"....ztect(spelling not checked)... Dear Sirs: Hitherto, I have valued your service. I have gone so far as to recommend others view your site. In the past, I have found your insights into issues regarding companies like BAAT to be very useful. In particular, you noted how BAAT had made claims it couldn't substantiate, and offered products it couldn't deliver and didn't even have applications for patents. However, I feel you have been a bit premature and irresponsible regarding your current assessment of ProNetLink. You reach conclusions prior to the site being launched. AND YES, THE SITE WAS LAUNCHED. A few hours late...but successfully. You also made many conclusions based on the comments of a firm, Chatfield & Dean that has a very dubious history. See these comments below: "1994 Chatfield and Dean involved in SEC disciplinary precedent involving stock price manipulation" "1996 Chatfield and Dean again clipped by the SEC this time for operating w/o sufficient revenue" "1997 Chatfield and Dean broker nicked for insider trading Chatfield & Dean" "Chatfield Dean & Co. (Greenwood Village, Colorado) and Scott Carothers (Registered Principal, Greenwood Village, Colorado) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent pursuant to which they were fined $25,000, jointly and severally. Carothers was suspended from association with any NASD member as a financial and operations principal for 10 business days and required to requalify by exam as a financial and operations principal. Without admitting or denying the allegations, the respondents consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that the firm, acting through Carothers, conducted a securities business while failing to maintain its minimum required net capital." You have also failed do you your research on why the company is unique and not just duplicating services provided by the other companies you noted on your web page. ProNetLink, does duplicate ALL these services and then goes steps beyond. First it provides ALL the services in one location at a modest fee. Second, PNLK isn't just a search engine, or reference site, ProNetLink provides all the support required to enact and complete transactions including banking. Now regarding your particular comment about the company's size and start up capital. I strongly suggest you are trying to apply antiquated models of business to "brain power" industries. Let me refer you back to a recent article in the NY Times Sunday Magazine of about two months ago. This article noted how today's new software companies working in "incubators" with daring entrepeneurs have started HUGE companies with brain cells and other people's money (i.e. Venture Capital). The only thing that is unusual about PNLK's path is that it didn't go the route of the traditional IPO. By not going this route, the company opened the door to a lot of small investors like myself, who otherwise would have never been provided the opportunity to invest in such a idea. And yes we all realize, we are investing in a idea....that's what every company starts as (e.g. microsoft, apple, amazon, et cetera). The power and strength of PNLK's idea you have failed to realize. You have also failed to mention in your critiqued, the caliber of the other companies sharing ProNetLink's vision including Proxicom, D&B, Zagoran, et cetera. These are not fly by night companies. These are companies with reputations to maintain. You fail to realize the legal ramifications of falsely claiming association with these companies...if this is indeed what ProNetLink has done. Your cursory analysis, and reliance upon dubious sources, undermines the worthwhile efforts you have tried to implement with your web page. However, again I reiterate that you have acted and reported in an irresponsible fashion. Were you somehow remiss, that Glenn Zagoran didn't have time to talk to you on the day of the launch? Maybe he was busy? Were you pissed because you didn't get invited to the party? Sorry, since your actions were so irresponsible, your motivations have to be called into question...and your company has to be considered complicit in any further actions taken against Chatfield & Dean, unless you immediately post a retraction and apology or, at least post, my reply as a counter point to your point of view. Besides any potential ramifications against your company, you have done yourself a disservice by rushing to press a story that severely undermines the efforts your company tries to achieve. Sincerely, ztect cc enforcement@sec.gov

REGARDING ProNetLink..PNLK..P..N..L..K I'll telling you one thing the PNLK site needs is a spell check...thereare are a lot of misspeled wordes...goodd thing I'm not trading any potatoes..with an "e". To me what's so beautiful about the site is its simplicity..it's uncluttered, true, but it also doesn't have all the excess verbiage that's a nuisance to read. And by keeping it simple and straightforward, proxicom has left A Lot of space for advertisements...and advertisements raise money and money equals earnings.... Here's just a partial list of the advertisers I've noted so far: Entrepreneur.mag Microsoftpress Geocities netcom smallbizbooks.com moneyhunter MoneySearch.com PCQuote BonusQuote NetScape Fidelity Investments Discover Brokerage Emergingstock.com stockvue Plus every time I revisit the site, there are more and more banners. There are also more and more features. (Besides why would the above companies advertise here if PNLK wasn't legit? Come on use some common sense...Put on your thinking cap...). What I have also observed is that many of the "critics" are other web page designers like ss from "Interlog" and stock detective from AXSS. These "critics" have undermined their own credibility, by not stating their associations. These "critics" also are so blatantly serving their own self interests that, not only are their comments not credible, their comments are unethical. Plus, PNLK clearly states that they are adding many more features within the next couple weeks. SO HERE'S TO A GREAT LAUNCH....THE PARTY WITH ALL THAT FANCY CHAMPAIGN CHRISTENED ANOTHER QUEEN ELIZATBETH. Anyone wanting to get on the next Titanic should stay on the AXXS line. Look at AXXS's charts...talk about a PUMP and DUMP. ztect

NEWS REGARDING PNLK....P_N_L_K: ProNetLink: ProNetLink Debuts New Internet Webtool at New York Bash NEW YORK, May 16 /PRNewswire/ -- ProNetLink(R) (OTC Bulletin Board: PNLK - news), pnlk.com, pronetlink.com, announced today that its new international import-export ''Webtool'' went ''Live from New York'' last night during its debut at a kick-off party in downtown New York City. The party was held in a high tech loft in Greenwich Village and featured a full demonstration of the new ProNetLink webtool. Guests included all of the original investors, representatives from companies that have partnered with ProNetLink, the families and friends of the ProNetLink staff and Special invited guests. ''It is an incredible thing to see an idea become a reality,'' said Jean Pierre Collardeau, CEO of ProNetLink. ''It's been a long road to this point but now we can get down to running a financially successful business.'' The entire night was going perfectly with the ProNetLink system running off of the website development firm's server. However, after the presentation was completed a problem developed during the transfer of the program to the main production servers at the ISP in Maryland. The website development company called the full programming team back from their homes to determine the scope of the problem. After two hours, they had found the glitch in the system and began the repairs to the database. The development company successfully fixed the transfer problem and the full site went live at 4:11 a.m., a total of six hours later than originally planned, yet after a successful presentation at the launch party. ''For a project of this size and complexity to be only six-hours late going live is amazing,'' said a development team spokesperson. ''Actually after five months and thousands of hours of programming a six-hour glitch is really relatively small.'' The development company will have programmers working over the weekend to clean up the balance of small errors that occurred during the upload process. Through ProNetLink's worldwide database, members are provided with all of the tools to be able to locate manufacturers, buyers or sellers, send immediate requests for quotes, generate all the international paperwork required to carry out a transaction, produce inter-business communications, determine all trade requirements and rules, find up-to-the-minute exchange rates, and even arrange financing. ''The concept of ProNetLink is truly on the cutting edge of global Internet commerce,'' commented Jean Daniel Monbaron, an international businessman who had flown in from Geneva, Switzerland specifically for the launch party. ''Tonight, with the launch of ProNetLink, businesses from around the world will have the opportunity to participate in a trading system that is designed to take us into the next millennium.''
