Peter, Great post and I have been meaning to respond back to your assessment of using ProNet. I believe I am the one who encouraged actual users to let us know how things were going as Buckeye was the only one we had heard from at that time. I believe both you and Buckeye agreed that a keyword search was paramount and the SIC search was too broad and limiting. These are the things that I, as an investor would like to hear about as I know even if no one brings their concerns to Glenn etal, ProNet does monitor this thread and indirectly concerns are addressed. I would like to take advantage of the 2 week trial membership but I wanted to wait until some of the upgrades are in place as I know we can subscribe once. This way, I can bring back to the thread my view on the website even though I have no background on export/import, I have friends who are and I will let them take a look through my membership. Unfortunately, some of our PNLKer shareholders took out their frustration on your frank comments re the website. I am glad you did not let that deter you from posting another excellant post and I will welcome and look forward to your future comments regarding PNLK. As I have stated before, this company is at its infancy and it will take time for it to mature into a one-stop shop site to bring vendors together from all over the world. If it can, which I feel it will, we will all be rewarded for our PATIENCE. I don't think it is necessary for Glenn to put out PR reports every time the stock ticks down. I would rather the company dilligently work out the 'bugs' and put their attention to the matter at hand which is the functionality of the website. I was very impressed with their beta site and along with the caliber of companies that signed on with them, was why I invested in PNLK. Not to mention the concept, as I am partial to internet companies. I own both SEEK and XCIT which didn't do too much for months..in fact, XCIT even fell 10 points at one time below my purchase price, but I held on because I hoped one day to be rewarded. Now they are both two of my best holdings, (and they are not making a profit, can you imagine that?)....I feel PNLK has the vision and the right people behind it to surpass the search engine sector. I am not a daytrader so I don't look at the day-to-day, uptick, downtick movement to affect or sway my feeling of the company when there isn't anything fundamentally changed. ProNet posted their financials and the credentials of the management and have met their timelines so far, at least to my satisfaction. There hasn't been a lot of selling or buying at the moment, which is drying up the volume hence, driving the price down. That is fine with me, as the momentum buying and selling a couple of weeks ago makes even the strongest long term-hold investor nervous. Again, we go back to the reasons we bought in the first place. Now the stock will move on its merits alone and this is what I want to see. Of course as long as it is a BB stock there will be the manipulation , but many successful companies have started as a BB stock and moved on. I tend to get long-winded and I am sorry for that. We all have to play the waiting game which requires PATIENCE and hope that PNLK fulfills its vision.
