Well, Not, seems some of your comments and concerns may have some weight after all. ;) Will this cause more or less flames? I have stayed out of this stock for many of the same reasons - except the rudeness thing. I have been watching stock since it opened because it is an interesting concept. But I went to cite and mall, and was unimpressed. Importantly, so was my wife - who has been known to surf and shop. I think her reaction will be fairly typical. She wants to shop and see stuff, not play Doom to shop. It strikes me as a glorified chat room, and for most people shopping the net, they can and will go directly to the sites like amazon rather than a mall to get to a link to get to the amazon cite. In addition, I find it disconcerting that there does not seem to be information out there to do diligence on. No one on this thread even seems to know what the float is, much less much about revenues, subscribers, ad sales, business plan etc. I have investor info packet coming to me, but doubt it will give me much comfort at this point. I may miss the opening of a new frontier, but I won't lose any sleep over passing up this one. Good luck to each and all. Hope you don't need it. P.S. Not, lose the nickname. It does make it sound like you have a particular issue with AWLD, even when you are making some valid points. 8^) Jim
