Mr. Pink, Are you short via puts or equity? I cannot tell too much about mgt except that the main players appear to have little experience in the current industry. Most of my research has been in the area of the business. I can tell you that 1) I covered during the halt, just a bit to real for me but may put in-th-money puts back on 2) the company has virtually no customers for its technology and the cable execs I have talked to are very skeptical of internet via set-top 3) I have looked at some of the company's patents and (in my most humble opinion) would be very surprised if they are worth much in the current cable environment 4) Worldgate, the company sued by Source, based their technology on VBI, not frame-grabbing. The suit appears to be promotional. That's all I have for now. Archer may know some personal background. Good Luck

Proxy is best source of information. I have met many of them. From memory, their background is in the telephone business (The yellow pages supplement). Tim Peters founded a business in that area, and built up SRCM. They bought the cable technology from a Canadian company and I haven't met any of those guys. In looking at a breakdown of the businesses, I could not find any of them that were profitable. I also remember thinking none of them came from any reputable company, but it has been a while. Also, when talking to them, they all seemed to be quite unsophisticated about the cable business and the internet. But, I assume there are some lower level guys with technical knowledge. I don't know John Reed or Scott Bedford. Dan Maitland, who runs the telephone business seems to be a solid guy. He doesn't give the kind of spin and misrepresentation that I expect from many of the others. I know this is kind of vague, but the best I can do from memory. I am now thinking this rumor was all a scam. Regards, Archer
