<<I did enjoy the exchange though and hope some good came of it. And I hope the participants understand it was just in the spirit of education and learning that it was pursued, and there aren't any hard feelings.>> I'm sure nobody is pissed. It was all constructive as far as I'm concerned. This NW Nexus deal seems strange. Maybe it's less than the Jan 10th announcement. Got to go back and digest that some more. From the announcement: << Northwest Nexus has merged with WinStar Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: WCII), and will become an integral part of WinStar's Broadband Services division. Northwest Nexus will now be known as WinStar Northwest Nexus. >> What is an integral part of Winstars Broadband Services ? I can't quantify it. Merge ?? ac

<..I guess I just felt we had kind of beat the issue to death and wasted enough of the thread's cyber space...> Don't be silly. We have more auctions coming - the issue is salient and important, as well as interesting and informative. <..Besides, I didn't want to get Dream Weaver pissed at me again..> What was he pissed about before? (is he even long anymore? <g>) <..I'm sure everyone of them is twice as smart as I am, so maybe I went a little overboard...> Not! I suspect you know better than that (if not, you SHOULD) and are just being graciously humble. <..And I hope the participants understand it was just in the spirit of education and learning that it was pursued, and there aren't any hard feelings...> Again, IMO any thought to the contrary would be silly. <...Their total first round gross bids were $246.8M and bidding credit used was $98.942M. So his point is well taken...> So you now feel, based on the facts as you now understand them, that the apparent market non-competitiveness was a bona fide, if seemingly "smelly", coincidence? Or is there still some factual inconsistency that you still see? Again, thanks for taking the time to thoroughly exercise this issue, beefing us ALL up.

Steve: Looks like the " finkmeister" is back. The following from the WCII thread on Yahoo: ""Time To Sell by: StephenBowen (38/M/Southern Michigan) 4737 of 4740 I have ridden WinStar for all it is worth. I have decided to sell 100% of my holdings in Winny and will never look back. If I do reinvest in fixed broadband wireless after the inevitable correction, it will be in Teligent, not WinStar. Why? Many of my corporate contacts throughout the country have been e--mailing me with disturbing stories about lost accounts and dissatisfied customers. WinStar is failing to execute properly. Alex Mandl has proven himself to be a much better manager and visionary than Bill Rouhana. I am sorry if my departure shocks some of you. That is not my intent. Nevertheless, I must do what I think is right for my family's finances. I suggest that the rest of my friends sell now also. Sincerely, Bow_from_MI "" Good luck, Joel
