INTERNET CLUB INVESTIGATION PART V IS TOTALLY HIP INVOLVED IN THE CONSPIRACY Hmmm, a curious response from THW to this email directed to IR Brian Leeners: >>I have noticed extensive coverage of Totally Hip by some internet email based newsletters. A new one recently arrived in my account that I had previously not heard of. I emailed the sender with the questions 1) what other companies have you promoted and 2) what is the raltionship between yourself and totally hip. This is the response that came back: -------------- Our Group Members are only privy to that information which comes outevery three months. As far as our relationship with THW, that is strictlyconfidential. DATA NEWS GROUP from: DATA NEWS GROUP <datanews@intergate.bc.ca> ------------------ My question for you is, what if any is the relationship between THW and Data News Group. If thee is a relationship, can you tell me anything about the background of this company, whom claims to have been around for years yet I haven't been able to find anything on them nor anyone that has heard of them. Are their other 'publications' being compensated to promote THW? Thankyou for your reponse.<<<<<<< The response: >> Totally Hip Software has no contract with and pays no renumeration to any promotional group or IR group. We have maintained that if we focus on our business plan this area will take care of itself. Based on all the contact from Investors and Brokers over the last two weeks this would seem to be a correct hypothesis. I know that this e-mail will be quoted or placed on some chat forum - so I will not comment on any other component of your inquiry. Also, how come you changed you change your e-mail so often - are you hiding..<<<< Now, the curious thing is, I have never before contacted THW by email with ANY adress, but DID use a different adress to contact McDO(never got a response) and Data news (see part IV). Also, what could the answer be to any part of my email that THW would not want posted publicly? How deep does this conspiracy go? On another matter, while we seem to have lost 'Mr Staya', in yet another remarkable coincidence 'Marty Stephens' arrives the next day to take up the slack cheerleading for the Hip Member 4791911 Hmmm both of them with initials M S. I assume "Marty Stephens' is the same person who has recently begain posting on the bobz form as 'Marty'.... didn't Mr Staya regularly reccomend people check out Bobz....? Comming soon...update on Billy Boyle (this one is getting really funny) PS: As of today, I think I've passed Ospery for most flames from Gypsy. It seems any mention of THW newsletter coverage, even answering a question poised by others, posted on the THW thread is a waste of her time. I guess her 30+ posts a day on the 'why I don't need a man' (something like that) thread is a more productive endeavor.
