Well, Terry, what you say is correct in a worst-case scenario. But no one has yet defined a worst-case scenario except individuals who have been continuously opposed to everything Zulu has attempted. You continue to leave out the possibility that long-range funding could come from the ESVS side of connections, not ZULU ones. It looks to me like the Netvest Group got the business concept going, but needed a venture partner, more financial muscle, in order to move forward. How else can anyone explain the continuation of the 10 to one ratio between ZULU and ESVS? Has anyone considered the possibility that ESVS has more to offer than what we now know? As an example, try thinking of a three-way baseball trade. Two teams make a trade, but they do so knowing that one of 'em is immediately going to trade one of the traded players to another, a third, team. Without that secondary deal, the original trade would never be made. So maybe some person(s) or entity is sitting on the sidelines waiting for something to happen. What's supposed to happen? Of course, it's obviously the merger. Once the merger is completed, the third party kicks in, funding is in place, and on they go toward fulfillment of the original business plan. Do note the original business plan has not changed at all during the whole time we've been posting: Technology (Laptops, research and development), demographic sales and marketing of advertised products (Mediabank, WideWebMedia, echoMEDIA, Softbank Interactive Marketing) and ecommerce (partnerships and/or possible acquisition(s) of Brandsforless, PowerX, Top Rank and County Seat and others we don't yet know about for immediate delivery to the consumer). One more question, Terry. Just consider all of the entities named in the above paragraph. Now, if you were going to put 'em all together into one consolidated operation, how long do you think that would take? Six months? A year? Two years? Three years? And one more question, Terry. Let's say this is happening and that all of the above named teams are all coming together. Wouldn't it be best to put the puzzle together first, before bragging to the public about that which you've done? On balance, the original NETZ and early ZULU used to put out a lot of press releases but got deeply criticized for doing so. Now, since under the operational control of ESVS, they don't issue any releases but still manage to get criticized. So if this is who your critics are, maybe it is best to get fully organized before making numerous public pronouncements. So whatta we go with, the worst-case scenario as painted by historical skeptics; or our own sense of objective questioning regarding what's possible and what's not possible?
