CONVERSATION WITH GLENN ZAGOREN ============================================ In my conversation with Glenn, we discussed specific points of the Wall Street Journal article, these include............................. 1. Jean-Pierre Collardeau credentials. 2. The pricing of the original shares and options 3. Paying for "Stock Genie's" services. 4. How PNLK is going to change the way trade is traditionally done. Glenn, made a point to emphasize that it would be foolhardy to "take on" or challenge the Wall Street Journal, and would be issuing a release in "timely" manner to address some of the misconceptions reported. He also said Jean Pierre Collardeau may also issue a separate statement going into further detail on his demonstrated and VERY real experience. Plus we discussed how there are many who, for whatever reason fear change, and that ProNetlink represents the change "they" fear. We also discussed Glenn and ProNetLink's concern (or lack there of) for the daily trading games and day to day valuations. He basically said he had a business to take care of, and wouldn't waste his time or the company's resources to combat the likes of some of the derelicts who participate on these threads. He said he did this initially with frequent news releases, but he has learned from his mistakes. On this and all the above topics, I will go into MUCH GREATER detail in subsequent posts. Please stay tuned.. Forward-looking statements in this release are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, dependence on the PC and consumer electronics, and Internet technologies and on new services based on new technologies; reliability; competition and pricing pressures; and other risks .

CONTINUATION OF CONVERSATION WITH ZAGOREN ========================================== In my conversation with Glenn Zagoren, like I mentioned previously we spoke about a number of topics. Zagoren's major gripe with the WSJ article was its lackadaisical reporting on Collardeau, and why the article was asking , in essence, only whether or not Jean Pierre Collardeau spoke at a specific meeting at the Florida Trade Data Center rather than about his vast work history in the trading business. The first problem that Zagoren spoke about regarding the diligence of WSJ's reporting is their primary source. Namely, Stella Dryer was not even the chief operating officer of the Florida Trade Center when Jean Pierre Collardeau spoke there. Furthermore when Collardeau spoke at the center he wasn't speaking "for the center" or the "U.S. Export Assistance Center", he was speaking in that forum for completely different organizations. Again the bigger issue that Zagoren pointed out, was not whether Collardeau spoke or didn't speak at one particular event. The bigger issue is Jean Piere Collardeau's experience, which Mr. Collardeau has noted in previous press releases. As Zagoran noted, and anyone can clearly see, the WSJ doesn't examine or even question Collardeau's work history and experience. The article takes only one isolated, and not documented, incident, using non-informed sources, and may or may not be trying to impugn Collardeau credibility and that of his company with one somewhat insignificant event. Zagoren noted that Collardeau is prepared to stand by his previously submitted record, and may be issuing a reply to some of WSJ's specific comments regarding the specific events to which WSJ referred. Zagoren didn't not issue a time line regarding the issuing of Collardeau's reply. Forward-looking statements in this release are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, dependence on the PC and consumer electronics, and Internet technologies and on new services based on new technologies; reliability; competition and pricing pressures; and other risks

Dear Mr. Jason Anders: I read your 5/21 story regarding ProNetLink, and it made even me- one of ProNetLink's most ardent supporters- have doubts. Based on your article, I went back and retraced all my bases. One could easily deduce from your article that ProNetLink and it's founder weren't viable. However, I had already done a tremendous amount of background that suggested otherwise including talking to large, medium, and small businesses to see if they would use such a service. Most were intrigued and said they'd look into it further. I contributed such a conversation I had with an executive from Amp (NYSE) to the thread. But still your conversation did momentarily make me rethink my own analysis. I therefore spoke again with ProNet Link and Mr. Glenn Zagoren. After these conversations, I again was more secure in my most "risky" venture to date. I am in the process of recording these conversations. I have copied below what I have recounted so far. I also wrote one from the "gut" which is also noted below... Based on my reinvestigation, I now have some questions for you. 1). Are you skeptical of the idea of ProNetLink because ProNetLink is providing a service that hitherto hasn't been provided which goes against the way trade has been "traditionally" done with freight forwarders, et cetera? 2). Were you trying to suggest by noting one "lecture", that Jean Pierre Collardeau is a fraud without any of the experience he claims? 3). Were you trying to imply that other founders of companies also haven't profited tremendously from the companies they have started? How much did Bill Gates and Mike Dell pay for their shares in their companies? 4). Were you trying to imply that other established companies also don't pay for "some exposure". 5). Did you and Mr. Zagoren just not get along with one another? 6). Are you just a very skeptical person in general? 7). What are the nature of your biases? Please don't take these questions the wrong way. But your analysis whether correct or incorrect does effect the valuation of the company, and therefore hurts small investors who frankly don't know what to believe. Therefore, I please ask you to read my information below. If you provide me a phone number, I'll also call you. Thank you for your consideration on these matters. Sincerely, ztect PS- I am JUST a share holder in ProNetLink. Nothing more.
