I asked the CEO of CMGI a couple questions: Here is his response about allocation of shares to E*Trade!

Q: Why are you on your vacation during one of the biggest IPO's in history?
<gg>

Don't you want to share the excitement with you colleagues?

By the way, do you know how many shares E*TRADE was allocated?

A: This is very much a working vacation. I spent much of today on GCTY
related items. With all that is going on, there is no good time for a vacation
just now, but the family needed it. I do to, but I do get to take a break or two
and check out the boards. :)

I cannot express/share my excitement over GCTY, due to SEC rules. But if
you come back tomorrow nite at 9PM, I should be able to share more.

No, I have no idea as to how many GCTY shares ETRADE had, but I do not
think it was all that many based on our allocation for friends and family. It's a
great promotion though, you must admit.

Regards,
David

broker suggested those 'lucky winners' might have a message posted to their accounts in another couple of hours.

Yes, I received a message tonight stating that I was assigned 200 shares. Did anyone else get more?
